Abstract
The paper focuses on N. Cartwright's views from her so called "capacities period" contrasted to the views of L. Nowak concerning scientific laws and scientific explanation. The author points out, that due to the lacking recognition of the inaccuracy of Nowak's argument even Cartwright's own views are to some extent inconsistent.
