  The       history and metaphysics of the concepts of laws of nature and
objective probabilities are closely connected with one another and with
main  topics in the philosophy and history of science. Fundamental laws
of      physics, particularly quantum theory and statistical mechanics,
posit       objective probabilities and it has been debated whether all
objective  probabilities are ultimately grounded in such laws. Laws and
probabilities     also figure prominently in the special sciences (e.g.
biology,  psychology,  economics)  Understanding  the   metaphysics  of
scientific laws and objective probabilities are central concerns of the
philosophy    of science. Understanding begins with the history of both
concepts.  The idea that it is a goal, perhaps the primary goal, of the
sciences     to discover laws arose in the 17th century. Descartes (and
various     of his contemporaries) conceived of laws as principles that
describe   how God makes material bodies move. Subsequently, some (e.g.
Newton)   came to think of laws as themselves governing physical events
while       others (especially David Hume) came to think of laws not as
governing      but rather as describing patterns and regularities among
events.  These two views have developed into the two main philosophical
accounts      of the metaphysics of laws which are usually called anti-
Humean and Humean accounts.
