Other things equal, the chances improve

Paul M. Pietroski

pp. 259-273

Abstrakt

The world, or rather that part of it with which we are acquainted, exhibits as we must all agree a good deal of regularity of succession. I contend that over and above that it exhibits no feature called causal necessity, but that we make sentences called causal laws… and [we] say that a fact asserted in a proposition which is an instance of causal law is a case of causal necessity (p. 160).
