Real dispositions in the physical world
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 39 (1):67-79 (1988)

It is shown that not only can classical physics be reasonably construed as the discovery of real dispositions, but also quantum physics. This approach moreover allows a realistic understanding of quantum processes. | |||||||||
