MillVs: the partial forces exist. CartwrightVsMill: Partial forces do not exist - not even - "partial movement towards the north and the east" where the body moves to the northeast. I 61 Solution/Cartwright: we have to give up the "facts-view": In the vector addition causal forces are added - no physical forces. - Then not "behavior" of the body, but "ability" to behave". Problem: so easily the "facts" cannot be abandoned. >Facts, >Complex/complexity. }, note = { Car I N. Cartwright How the laws of physics lie Oxford New York 1983 CartwrightR I R.
