Know about the book -

Nature's Metaphysics is written by Alexander Bird and published by OUP Oxford. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0191527726 (ISBN 10) and 9780191527722 (ISBN 13).

Nature's Metaphysics argues that a satisfactory philosophy of science requires a metaphysics that is based on the understanding that natural properties are essentially dispositional. Alexander Bird develops a dispositional essentialist account of the laws of nature, defending the claim that laws are metaphysically necessary. Professional philosophers and advanced students working in metaphysics and the philosophy of science will find this book both provocative and stimulating.
