Résumé
Dispositions can be of many kinds (physical, artefactual, psychological). In order to analyse those entities, we have to use conditional predicates and expressions. The metaphysical problem stems out the impossibility of counterfactual conditionals to capture this kind of properties. We have to distinguish between the basis of a disposition and its manifestations bit this difference produce new problems. In contemporary terms, this distinction could be denied by a categorical monism and would be modified into the separation between the functional attribute and the strict causal rôle but then, metaphysical inquiry would be subordinated to a conceptual analysis. It remains then necessary to separate conceptual terms from those type of propreties.
