Dispositions
Appeals to dispositionality in explanations of phenomena in metaphysics and the philosophy of mind, require that we first agree on what we are talking about.

My aim is not to establish a weighty ontological thesis, however, but to move the discussion ahead...
متن کاملDispositions, Conditionals, and Counterexamples

Second, we attacked a tempting response to these counterexamples: what we called the ―getting specific strategy‖. Third, we presented a series of ...

Dispositional, but not categorical properties, are not susceptible to intrinsic finks, nor are they remediable by intrinsic antidote...
