Among the new consequences of this proposal it is proved that any explanation of a contingent generalization shows that the generalization is not accidental. The second part involves?.physical.?theories, their modality, and their explanatory power. In particular, it is shown that (1) Each theory has a theoretical implication structure associated with it, such that there are new?.physical.?modal operators?.on.?these structures and also special modal entities that are?.in.?these structures. A special subset of the physical modals, the?.nomic.?modals are associated with the laws of theories. (2) The familiar idea that theories always explain laws by deduction of them has to be seriously modified in light of the fact that there are a host of physical theories (including for example, Newtonian Classical mechanics, Hamiltonian, and Lagrangian theory, and probability theory) that we believe are?.schematic.?(they do not have any truth value). Nevertheless, we think that there is a k | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Relatvization of Laws Philosophy; Accidental Generalizations; Ambiguity of Counterfactual Connection; G | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-18846-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-18848-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-18846-7Series ISSN 0166-6991 Series E-ISSN 2542-8292 | | issn_series | 0166-6991 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 |
