Laws of Nature and Chances
Book • 2024
In 'Laws of Nature and Chances', Barry Loewer offers a new perspective on the metaphysics of laws and chances, addressing Stephen Hawking's question about what gives life to the equations that describe the universe.
The book builds on David Lewis's Humean Best Systems Account but rejects its ontology, instead using criteria from physics to determine the universe's fundamental structure.
It discusses historical and current philosophical accounts, overcoming objections and accommodating recent developments in physics.
