"Comprehensive, completed theory"/Davidson/Glüer:
a) Def comprehensive: described in the terminology of the theory
b) Def closed: subsumed under a law of the theory.
Glüer II 105
Law/Natural law/theory/Davidson/Glüer: only the ideal physics represents such a closed system in which strict laws are possible. Outside of it there can be no strict laws.
>Anomalous monism.
Event/Causality/Laws/Description/Davidson/Glüer: if two events are in causal relation to each other, there must be descriptions on the basis of which they can be subsumed under a strict law. I.e. they must be tokens of types for which there is a causal law.
There can also be other descriptions independently of this. I.e. there can be any number of true singular causal statements in which x and y are not described as instantiations of a causal law. Nevertheless, we know that there must be a law if the statement is true.
>Description/Davidson.
Glüer II 137
Laws/Davidson: three types:
a) MM-laws (intentionalist vocabularies) between propositional attitudes and actions - these laws are not possible (no prediction of actions)
b) MX-laws: connect the intentionalist with a physicalist vocabulary (these laws are available)
c) physical laws.},
