    Paper   IPM / Philosophy / 12247
       School of Analytic Philosophy
      Title: Laws and counterfactuals: defusing an argument against the Humean view of laws
      Author(s): kaave Lajevardi
      Status: Published
      Journal: Dialogue
      No.: 04
      Vol.: 50
      Year: 2011
      Pages: 751-758
      Supported by: IPM
      Abstract:
    Appealing to the failure of counterfactual support is a standard device in refuting a Humean view on laws of nature: some true generalizations do not support relevant counterfactuals; therefore not every true general fact is a law of nature?so goes the refutation. I will argue that this strategy does not work, for our understanding of the truth-value of any counterfactual is grounded in our understanding of the lawhood of some statements related to it.
