Why "noncommuting common causes" don't explain anything
nonlocality local causality common cause explanation noncommuting common causes AQFT
2016/6/14
In my commentary, I will argue that the conclusions drawn in the paper Noncommutative causality in algebraic quantum field theory (and similar publications) by Gábor Hofer-Szaboó are incorrect. As pro...
REVIEW OF Getting Causes from Powers,by Stephen Mumford and Rani Lill Anjum
Causation powers dispositions simultaneous causation vectors
2016/5/30
In this book, Mumford and Anjum advance a theory of causation based on a metaphysics of powers. The book is for the most part lucidly written, and contains some interesting contributions: in particula...
A theory of causation: causae causantes (originating causes) as inus conditions in branching space-times
causation indeterminism inus conditions branching space-times
2011/9/6
Branching space-times (BST) theory, as developed elsewhere, permits a sound and rigorously definable notion of ``originating cause'' or causa causans---a type of transition event---of an outcome event...
J.S. Mill’s Canons of Induction: from True Causes to Provisional Ones

In this essay, my aim is twofold: to clarify how the late Mill conceived of the certainty of inductive generalizations and to offer a systematic clarification of the limited domain of application of t...

Mechanisms, Causes and the Layered Model of the World
Causation Properties Levels of Organization
2008/4/15
Most philosophical accounts of causation take causal relations to obtain between individuals and events in virtue of nomological relations between properties of these individuals and events. Such view...
Evolutionary processes such as natural selection and random drift are
commonly regarded as causes of population-level change. We respond to a
recent challenge that drift and selection are best und...
Is the common cause principle merely one of a set of useful heuristics for discovering causal relations, or is it rather a piece of heavy duty metaphysics, capable of grounding the direction of causat...
Causes without Mechanisms: Experimental Regularities, Physical Laws, and Neuroscientific Explanation
Causes Mechanisms
2008/4/10
This paper examines the role of experimental generalizations and physical laws in neuroscientific explanations, using Hodgkin’s and Huxley’s electrophysiological model from 1952 as a test case. I show...
Biologists studying complex causal systems typically identify some factors as causes and treat other factors as background conditions. For example, when geneticists explain biological phenomena, they ...
