Dispositionalism is the view that causal powers are among the
irreducible properties of nature. It has long been among the core
competing positions in the metaphysics of laws, but its potential
implications for other key debates within metaphysics and the
philosophy of science have remained under-explored. Travis Dumsday
fills this major gap in the literature by establishing new
connections between dispositionalism and such topics as substance
ontology, ontic structural realism, material composition,
emergentism, natural-kind essentialism, perdurantism, time travel,
and spacetime substantivalism. He also puts forward a novel view
concerning the precise relationship between causal powers and the
fundamental laws of nature. His rich and accessible study will
appeal to readers interested in contemporary analytic metaphysics
and philosophy of science.
