The traditional conception of cause and effect is one which modern science shows to be fundamentally erroneous, and requiring to be replaced by a quite different notion, that of LAWS OF CHANGE. In the...
According to the transitive dynamics model, people can
construct causal structures by linking together
configurations of force. The predictions of the model
were tested in two experiments in which ...
Neo-Functional Analysis: Phylogenetical Restrictions on Causal Role Functions
function-analytical explanation phylogenetical restrictions
2008/4/22
The most recent resurgence of philosophical attention to the so-called ‘functional talk’ in the sciences can be summarized in terms of the following questions: (Q1) What kind of restrictions, and in p...
Pearson's wrong turning: against statistical measures of causal efficacy
causation causal efficacy statistics
2008/4/22
Standard statistical measures of strength of association, although pioneered by Pearson deliberately to be acausal, nowadays are routinely used to measure causal efficacy. But their acausal origins h...
Stable Models and Causal Explanation in Evolutionary Biology
Group Selection Stable Models
2008/4/21
Models that fail to satisfy the Markov condition are unstable in the sense that changes in state variable values may cause changes in the values of background variables, and these changes in backgroun...
The causal homogeneity of biological kinds

2008/4/21
The aim of this paper is to show that biological kinds can be causally homogeneous, although all biological causes are identical with configurations of physical causes. The paper considers two differe...
The causal story of the double slit experiment in quantum real numbers.
Quantum reality ontological vs epistemological conditions of quantum particles
2008/4/21
A causal story of the double slit experiment for a massive scalar particle is told using quantum real numbers as the numerical values of the position and momentum of the particle. The quantum real num...
The Hidden Premise in the Causal Argument for Physicalism
Physicalism Completeness of Physics Causal Closure of Physics
2008/4/21
The causal argument for physicalism is anayzed and it's key premise--the causal closure of physics--is found wanting. Therefore, a hidden premise must be added to the argument to gain its conclusion, ...
The Role of Causal Processes in the Neutral and Nearly Neutral Theories
neutral theory of molecular evolution nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution
2008/4/21
In this paper, we will consider how the neutral and nearly neutral theories of molecular evolution differ from each other as a means for addressing causal processes associated with random drift and na...
I argue that time travel can occur without causal loops.

Daniel Wegner argues that our feelings of conscious will are illusory: these feelings are not causally involved in the production of action, which is rather governed by unconscious neural processes. I...
Natural Selection as a Population-Level Causal Process

2008/4/15
Recent discussions in the philosophy of biology have brought into question some fundamental assumptions regarding evolutionary processes, natural selection in particular. Some authors argue that natur...
Is There an Independent Principle of Causality in Physics? A Comment on Matthias Frisch, “Causal Reasoning in Physics.”

2008/4/15
Matthias Frisch has argued that the requirement that electromagnetic dispersion processes are causal adds empirical content not found in electrodynamic theory. I urge that this attempt to reconstitute...
The literature on causal discovery has focused on interventions that involve randomly assigning values to a single variable. But such a randomized intervention is not the only possibility, nor is it a...
