lawlikeness

Other projects have focused on the value and variety of kinds of approximations, and the difficulties of extending to different theories specific methodological standards, models of explanation and even abstract categories such as rationality, lawlikeness, determinism, causality, locality or individuality and separability.

The Unity of Science Cat, Jordi 2007

Moreover, to the extent that the principle is seen as required not only for the construction of systematic scientific theories, but also for the recognition of nature's empirical lawlikeness or (even more fundamentally) for the possibility of any empirical concept-formation at all, it takes on great importance for an understanding of Kant's views on empirical cognition generally.

Kant's Aesthetics and Teleology Ginsborg, Hannah 2005

Because the principle of nature's purposiveness is, in effect, the principle that nature is amenable to the activity of reflecting judgment itself, it seems to allow of being formulated in a corresponding variety of ways, that is, as a principle of nature's taxonomic systematicity, of its explanatory systematicity, of its empirical lawlikeness, and of its empirical conceptualizability.

Kant's Aesthetics and Teleology Ginsborg, Hannah 2005

History develops for him, as for the apocalyptics, with ineluctable lawlikeness.
