Abstract
In the philosophical debate, it seems to be widely accepted that dispositions depend on conditionals in order to be manifested. However, other authors prefer to understand them as completely independent structures that manifest themselves in our material world. This article will first review the most influential aspects of this debate on disconnection and link between dispositions and conditionals; later in another section, by means of examples, it will intend to give a satisfactory answer concerning this supposed dependence; finally, upon analysis of the examples, some conclusions will be clarified. In these conclusions, we can find that it is not possible to deal so easily with the correspondence between conditionals and dispositions, since a strenuous attention to language, as well as multiple other details, will make this desired correspondence an infinite search for possibilities.
