An Analysis of Humean Supervenience in Laws of Nature

Author

Abstract

The laws of nature appear to have a central role in scientific practice, so it is an important issue for philosophers of science to examine different views regarding the law of nature. There are many theses developed in this regard which the famed Humean Supervenience is reviewed in this paper. Tooley and Carroll’s thought experiments are explained and their considered conclusions are judged. Moreover, the governing intuition about the natural laws is inspected and the Humean approach is vindicated.
