Trigger Happy

This is a review of Barbara Vetter’s book Potentiality: From Dispositions to Modality. Oxford University Press (2015). The first part of Vetter’s book aims to show that the standard semantic and/or metaphysical interpretation of dispositional predicates and/or dispositions fails and that it ought to be replaced by Vetter’s own potentiality metaphysics. This review critically investigates the consequences this view has.
(The review is written in German, an English version is available on request.)
