Abstract

This is an extended study in the philosophy of science. Fetzer generally defends and refines the Hempelian theory of explanation, the Popperian theory of corroboration, a possible-worlds semantics for subjunctive conditionals, an intensional analysis of laws of nature, and the single-case propensity theory of probability.
