(2010) Theory and applications of ontology, Dordrecht, Springer.
This chapter offers a taste of some central issues concerning dispositions and response-dependence theories. The first part focuses on the conditional analysis of dispositions and the problem posed by finkish, masked and mimicking counterexamples. The second treats the relationship between dispositions and their bases, and summarises some of the central argument types relevant to the assessment of this issue. The third part provides an overview of response-dependence theories. It also contains a brief discussion of some questions that connect the three themes of the chapter. These concern conditional fallacy problems for response-dependence theses, the relationship between dispositional and subjunctive formulations of response-dependence theses, and the implications for (dispositional) response-dependence theses of which view one takes on dispositions in general.
