Dispositions are relatively uncontroversial and predicatory properties possessed by objects disposed in certain ways. In contrast, powers are hypothetical and ontic properties posited to explain dispositional behavior. Chapter 1 outlines this distinction in greater detail. Chapter 2 provides a summary of the issues surrounding the analysis of dispositions and various strategies in contemporary literature to address them, including one of our own. Chapter 3 explores some of the critical questions facing the metaphysics of powers, such as why they are worth positing and how they might metaphysically explain laws of nature and modality. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
