Disposition Ascriptions
Philosophical Studies 176 (7):1667-1692 (2019)

I argue that disposition ascriptions—claims like ‘the glass is fragile’—are semantically equivalent to possibility claims: they are true when the given object manifests the disposition in at least one of the relevant possible worlds.Author's Profile
