Abstract
Abstract Chapter 2 presents the status quo of contemporary systematic metaphysics, detailing the core elements of the dominant neo-Humean metaphysic. The neo-Humean metaphysic is the foil against which the powers metaphysic is developed. Working through the more familiar framework helps readers appreciate metaphysical commitments they might have whilst demonstrating how a metaphysic is developed from a fundamental ontology. Popular neo-Humean accounts of possibility, properties, laws of nature, and causation are presented. The penultimate section of the chapter runs through some of the common objections to those aspects of the neo-Humean metaphysic presented in the previous sections.
