Full Idea
The Humean project is unjustified, in that both the laws of nature and the direction of time require no analysis, and is misconceived, in that the atoms it employs do not correspond to present physical ontology.
Gist of Idea
The Humean view is wrong; laws and direction of time are primitive, and atoms are decided by physics

A Reaction
I certainly find it strange, or excessively empirical, that Lewis thinks our account of reality should rest on 'qualities'. Maudlin's whole books is an implicit attack on David Lewis.
