Description
In his book 'Scientific explanation', Professor Braithwaite gives his account of how a person acquires his knowledge of natural regularities and then distinguishes regularities with some element of... necessity, and regards them as laws of nature. Dr Hanfling introduces a discussion in which Kenneth Baublys challenges the idea that the necessity implicit in this description of laws of nature depends on the fact that such laws can be deduced from a high level scientific hypothesis.
