Book Description

George Molnar came to see that the solution to a number of the problems in contemporary philosophy lay in the development of an alternative to Hume's metaphysics, with real causal powers at its center. Molnar's eagerly anticipated book setting out his theory of powers was almost complete when he died, and has been prepared for publication by Stephen Mumford, who provides a context-setting introduction.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Powers is a rich book. In the course of characterizing and arguing for a posteriori dualism, Molnar contributes views on most of the important questions about dispositions."--Mind

Review

The Long-awaited final work of George Molnar
