Scientific Essentialism defends the view
that the fundamental laws of nature depend
on the essential properties of the things on
which they are said to operate and are
therefore not independent of them. These
laws are not imposed on the world by God,
the forces of nature, or anything else, but
rather are immanent in the world.
Brian Ellis argues that ours is a dynamic
world consisting of more or less transient
objects that are constantly interacting with
each other and whose identities depend on
their roles in these processes. Natural
objects must behave as they do because to
do otherwise would be contrary to their
natures. The laws of nature are therefore
metaphysically necessary, and consequently
there are necessary connections between
events.
in an innovative contribution to
contemporary metaphysics, Ellis calls for
the rejection of the theory of
Humean
Supervenience and implementation of a
new kind of realism in philosophical
analysis.
This book will interest professionals and
students of philosophy and the philosophy
of science.
