Description

<p>In this episode, Fred introduces how to think philosophically about the laws of nature. Laws are typically taken to relate somehow to stable and exceptionless regularities in the philosophical literature, and this thought is explicated using examples. How exactly laws relate to these exceptionless regularities is then asked, triggering the schism in views about laws of nature, Humean and non-Humean views. </p><p><br></p><p>Enjoy! </p><p><br></p>
