I argue that, just like causal explanation requires laws of nature, so metaphysical explanation requires laws of metaphysics.

And I offer a positive and minimal functional conception of the laws of metaphysics, coupled with an argument that some laws of metaphysics are fundamental.Laws for Metaphysical ExplanationRoyal Institute of Philosophy Supplement 82 1-22. 2017.
