The book is arguably the first monograph primarily devoted to articulating in detail a dispositionalist account of modality...<em>Potentiality</em> makes a very powerful, detailed, and comprehensive case for the author's view of modality and it is an extremely valuable contribution to the debate about the metaphysics of modality--one that significantly advances that debate. <em>Potentiality</em> is a must-read for anyone who is seriously interested in the metaphysics of modality. -- <em>Mind</em>

Vetter's book stands out as an ambitious, original, and systematic attempt to develop a new account of metaphysical modality in terms of dispositional properties she calls 'potentialities.' * Jennifer McKitrick, University of Nebraska, Erkenn * Potentiality is an essential reference for scholars of disposition, potentiality, and possibility. It makes a significant contribution to the continued growth of anti-Humean metaphysics. * James M. Bucknell, Australasian Journal of Philosophy * I believe that Potentiality is a very important book that should be read by anyone who is interested in the metaphysics of modality in general and in dispositionalist approaches to modality in particular. * Gabriele Contessa, Mind *
