 Also other metaphysical issues besides Lewis’s account of lawhood influence the recent literature on cp-laws. The metaphysics of probabilities and disposition stand out in this respect. Taking up results from Earman and Roberts (1999) and Schurz (2002), several authors including Hüttemann and Reutlinger (2013), Kowalenko (2014), Roberts (2014), Reutlinger (2014), and Strevens (2014) discuss the prospects of a statistical approach to cp-laws (or a “softness” approach, to use Strevens’s term), according to which cp-laws are statistical claims. (Notice that the normality account presented in section 8 above is but a special case of the broader statistical approach to cp-laws).
