The Intensity of Powers
Dispositions come in degrees. Powers theorists have suggested that this is explained by the fact that powers come in degrees, too. Degrees of powers have usually been characterised in terms of the robustness of the modal connection between power, stimulus, and manifestation. However, modal strength cannot account for all our comparative judgements between dispositions. In this paper, I argue that there is also a different kind of degrees of power…
Dated Truths Without Dated Powers
Dispositionalism is the theory of modality according to which all (metaphysical and natural) modal truths are made true by some actual irreducibly dispositional property. The relationship between Dispositionalism and time is yet to be satisfactorily explored. In this paper we contribute to this task by examining how Dispositionalism deals with ‘dated truths’: propositions involving a specific time, e.g. “It might rain at 12.30”. We examine two po…
Powers, Processes, and Time
Relational Troubles Structuralist Worries for an Epistemology of Powers-Based Modality
Dispositionalism is the theory of modality that grounds all modal truths in powers: all metaphysically possible and necessary truths are to be explained by pointing to some actual power, or absence thereof. One of the main reasons to endorse dispositionalism is that it promises to deliver an especially desirable epistemology of modality. However, so far this issue has not be fully investigated with the care it is due. The aim of this paper is to …
New powers for Dispositionalism
Establishing Dispositionalism as a viable theory of modality requires the successful fulfilment of two tasks: (i) showing that all modal truths can be derived from truths about actual powers, and (ii) offering a suitable metaphysics of powers. These two tasks are intertwined: difficulties in one can affect the chances of success in the other. In this paper, I generalise an objection to Dispositionalism by Jessica Leech and argue that the theory i…
