On the Nature of the Nature of Law
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011What is it for something to have a nature? And what is it for law to have a nature?

The nature of the laws of nature
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, 2000We human beings live in the explanations of our existence as living beings. These explanations of our existence include what we call the ‘laws of nature’.

The problem of distinguishing between laws and accidental generalisations is discussed.Taking for granted that some laws are derivable from others, the basic problem is to say what a fundamental law, i.e., a law that is not derived from other laws, is. It is argued that there are different categories of fundamental laws.
