This is a reminder for:
Title: John Maier
A Dispositional Theory of Counterfactuals
A number of authors have suggested that disposition ascriptions (e.g. 'The
glass is disposed to break when struck') should be reduced to
counterfactuals (e.g. 'If the glass were struck it would break'), but
several objections have been raised against the proposed reduction. I
suggest that things may go the other way around: counterfactuals are to be
reduced to a certain species of disposition ascription. This account
illuminates the connection between disposition ascriptions and
counterfactuals, and provides an account of counterfactuals that need not
invoke the apparatus of possible worlds.
