Powers were central to the Aristotelian worldview that held sway for centuries but were largely left behind during the Scientific Revolution when laws replaced powers as the primary vehicles of explanation. We are now seeing a welcome rebirth of interest in the metaphysics and explanatory role of powers. This title brings together a collection of papers by some of the foremost philosophers writing on the topic of powers today.
