Dynamism and Ontology in Metaphysical Discourse

The chapter explores dynamism as a core concept shaping individual habits and the existence of beings in the world. It discusses the importance of dispositional properties over static ones, delving into topics like reducibility, electrons, and the challenge of predicates in defining real properties. The conversation extends to the need for an essentialist approach in metaphysics and contrasts various philosophical perspectives on categorical versus dispositional realism.
