Reality and Probability: Contra Williams
Social Epistemology 25 (1):57-66 (2011)
Abstract
An account is given of Roy Bhaskar's conception of causal necessity in order to provide an objective measure for Williams' criticisms of critical realism. In light of this account, Williams' criticisms are found to fail. The reply finishes with an alternative, critical realist account of the ontological basis of probabilityAuthor's Profile
