摘要

根据Nomological论点,自然界观察到的规律最好通过对超自然生物的吸引力来解释。一个成功的解释必须避免两个危险。有些解释提供的结构太少,预测了一个没有规律的宇宙。其他人提供了太多的结构,从而排除了对现代科学理论中某些类型的规律性的解释。我们认为,基于超自然生物的创造性、有意行为的解释可以避免这两种危险,而领先的竞争对手则不能。尽管我们的论点没有得到充分的辩护,但它确实表明游牧论的论点值得哲学关注。1游牧论证的草图根据游牧论证,超自然的存在提供了对自然界规律的最佳解释,例如行星有椭圆轨道,光速在所有参考系中都是相同的,量子系统根据薛定谔方程进化。尽管我们在这篇论文中不能提供充分的辩护,但我们将确定主要的竞争假设,并认为神圣自愿主义——规律是由超自然生物解释的假设——在两个最关键的解释美德方面胜过了它们。这至少为更倾向于神圣自愿主义而非其主要竞争对手提供了强有力的初步证据,并澄清了如何捍卫游牧论论点。*这是倒数第二稿。官方版本:http://doi.org/10.1111/nous.123641神圣自愿主义最近受到了一些关注(Foster 2004,Swinburne 2006,Collins 2009a,Orr 2019)。然而,这些讨论在各个方面都受到限制--

The nomological argument for the existence of God
According to the Nomological Argument, observed regularities in nature are best explained by an appeal to a supernatural being. A successful explanation must avoid two perils. Some explanations provide too little structure, predicting a universe without regularities. Others provide too much structure, thereby precluding an explanation of certain types of lawlike regularities featured in modern scientific theories. We argue that an explanation based in the creative, intentional action of a supernatural being avoids these two perils whereas leading competitors do not. Although our argument falls short of a full defense, it does suggest that the Nomological Argument is worthy of philosophical attention. 1 Sketch of the Nomological Argument According to the Nomological Argument, a supernatural being provides the best explanation of regularities in nature, such as that planets have elliptical orbits, that the speed of light is the same in all frames of reference, and that quantum systems evolve in accordance with the Schrödinger equation. Although we can’t provide a full defense in this paper, we will identify the leading competing hypotheses and argue that Divine Voluntarism—the hypothesis that regularities are explained by a supernatural being— beats them when it comes to two most-crucial explanatory virtues. This at least makes a strong prima facie case for preferring Divine Voluntarism to its leading competitors and clarifies how the Nomological Argument is to be defended. * This is the penultimate draft. The official version: http://doi.org/10.1111/nous.12364 1 Divine Voluntarism has received some recent attention (Foster 2004, Swinburne 2006, Collins 2009a, Orr 2019). However, these discussions have been limited in various respects—
