The Third Way on Objective Probability: A Sceptic's Guide to Objective Chance (2007)
The goal of this paper is to sketch and defend a new interpretation or 'theory' of objective chance, one that lets us be sure such chances exist and shows how they can play the roles we traditionally...

Probability in GRW Theory (2007)
GRW Theory postulates a stochastic mechanism assuring that every so often the wave function of a quantum system is `hit', which leaves it in a localised state. How are we to interpret the...

Causality and Determinism: Tension, or Outright Conflict? (2004)
In the philosophical tradition, the notions of determinism and causality are strongly linked: it is assumed that in a world of deterministic laws, causality may be said to reign supreme; and in any...

Humean Effective Strategies (2003)
In a now-classic paper, Nancy Cartwright argued that the Humean conception of causation as mere regular co-occurrence is too weak to make sense of our everyday and scientific practices. Specifically...
In this paper I defend fundamental physical laws against the arguments presented by Nancy Cartwright in THE DAPPLED WORLD.
Absolute versus Relational Spacetime: For Better or Worse, the Debate Goes On (1998)
The traditional absolutist-relationist debate is still clearly formulable in the context of General Relativity Theory (GTR), despite the important differences between Einstein's theory and the...
