The big bad bug: What are the humean's chances?
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 44 (3):443-462 (1993)
| Abstract | Humean supervenience is the doctrine that there are no necessary connections in the world. David Lewis identifies one big bad bug to the programme of providing Humean analyses for apparently non-Humean features of the world. The bug is chance. We put the bug under the microscope, and conclude that chance is no special problem for the Humean. | |||||||||
