What is ‘A Law of Nature’? It's a question that's vexed philosophers and scientists ever since Descartes first coined the term. Andrew Younan explores it in this insightful book. After carefully reviewing the positions of Humeans and Anti-Humeans, he employs the philosophy of Aristotle and Aquinas to argue for an essentialist understanding.
