Fundamental laws and the completeness of physicsFootnote¹

This paper was presented under the title “Fundamental Laws” at the 25th Annual Philosophy of Science Conference held at the Inter University Centre in Dubrovnik, Croatia, 12–17 April 1999. I am grateful to those present for their comments and criticism, especially James Robert Brown, Richard Arthur, David Davies, Andrew Reynolds and Jean‐Pierre Marquis. I would also like to acknowledge the benefit of discussions of an earlier version of the paper with David Papineau and Keith Hossack at King's College, London.
