Dispositions are everywhere. We say that a wall is hard, that water
quenches thirst and is transparent, that dogs can swim and oak
trees can let their leaves fall, and that acid has the power to
corrode metals. All these statements express attributions of
dispositions, be they physical, physiological or psychological, yet
there is much philosophical debate about how far, if at all,
dispositional predicates can have complete meaning or figure in
causal explanations. This collection of essays, by leading
international researchers, examine the case for realism with
respect to dispositions and causal powers in both metaphysics and
science. Among the issues debated in this book is whether
dispositions can be analyzed in terms of conditionals, whether all
dispositions have a so-called categorical basis and, if they do,
what is the relation between the disposition and its basis.
