Are dispositions ultimate? Reply to Franklin

Philosophical Quarterly 38 (150):84-86 (1988)

Abstract

It is argued that it is possible that all properties are categorical, contrary to the arguments of Franklin that there must be dispositionality "all the way down". The tasks for which dispositionality is alleged to be needed can be fulfilled by laws of nature, which are categorical relations between universals.
