Dispositionalism is a view that suggests the properties of objects are not intrinsic to them but are instead dispositions or potentialities. In other words, an object's properties are determined by how it would behave under specific conditions. Dispositionalism suggests that the essence of an object lies not in its present state, but in its potential behavior under specific conditions. In this sense, objects can be seen as carrying the blueprint for their future actions. A glass, for instance, doesn't just exist as a glass; it carries the disposition to shatter if dropped. This potential, or disposition, is as much a part of the glass's identity as its current shape and transparency.
