Abstract
Humean, logical empiricist, and other Regularist accounts of causal explanation have had the unfortunate effect of distracting philosophers from important non-explanatory scientific uses of laws and lesser generalizations which purport to describe natural regularities. My second aim is to characterize some of these uses, illustrating them with examples from neuroscientific research.
