Description:

Outlining a different theory of natural laws, this book addresses questions debated by metaphysicians such as whether the laws of nature are necessary or contingent and whether a property can be identified independently of its causal role. It begins with the question of whether there are any genuinely law-like phenomena in nature.

Synopsis:

Mumford outlines a major new theory of natural laws. His book begins with the question of whether there are any genuinely law-like phenomena in nature. The discussion addresses questions currently being debated by metaphysicians such as whether the laws of nature are necessary or contingent and whether a property can be identified independently of its causal role.
