The Solubility of Salt: A Divine Action Account
In the burgeoning literature on dispositions, solubility is a standard example. In this paper we give a rigorous theistic divine action account of the simple mechanism of the dissolving of salt, NaCl, into the ions Na+ and Cl−. We explore this reaction in terms of an alternative view of divine actio...
