In 2017 Cartwright was selected by the American Philosophical Association Committee to deliver The Paul Carus Lectures. The series was entitled 'Nature, the Artful Modeler: Lectures on Laws, Science, How Nature Arranges the World and How We Can Arrange It Better' and the lectures entitled: - Her raw materials: powers, 'mechanisms', and causes. She manages actual possibilities, obeys the Barcan formula, and does not sit down with counterfactuals. Her methods: our methods ... That's why ours work so well. But she is not a Kant, a Mussoloini, nor a Hilbert. Perhaps Isambard Brunel, Margaret Knight, or Mary Berry. Her limits: Picking up where Nature leaves off, building it better, and warranting your work. Selected works Books Translated to Chinese.
