Interventions and Causality in Quantum Mechanics
Causal Inference EPR correlations Causal Markov Condition Interventions philosophy of quantum mechanics
2016/6/15
I argue that the Causal Markov Condition (CMC) is in principle applicable to the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations. This is in line with my defence in the past of the applicability of the Pri...
Kantian Causality and Quantum Quarks:The Compatibility between Quantum Mechanics and Kant’s Phenomenal World
Kant quantum theory Copenhagen interpretation indeterminism perspectives law of causality transcendental idealism teoría cuantica interpretación de Copenhague indeterminismo perspectivas ley de causalidad idealismo trascendental
2016/6/15
Quantum indeterminism seems incompatible with Kant’s defense of causality in his Second Analogy.The Copenhagen interpretation also takes quantum theory as evidence for anti-realism. This article argue...
Causality and Chance in Relativistic Quantum Field Theories
Local causality Microcausality Bell correlations Relativistic quantum field theories Pragmatist interpretation Causal intervention
2016/6/13
Bell appealed to the theory of relativity in formulating his principle of local causality. But he maintained that quantum field theories do not conform to that principle, even when their field equatio...
Quantum Superpositions and Causality:On the Multiple Paths to the Measurement Result
quantum superposition causality measurement problem
2016/6/12
The following analysis attempts to provide a general account of the multiple solutions given to the quantum measurement problem in terms of causality. Leaving aside instrumentalism which restricts its...
Absolute Simultaneity and the Principle of Stable Causality
Presentism special relativity philosophy of time relativity of simultaneity
2016/5/31
Einsteins relativity of simultaneity had a deep impact on the pilosophy of time. A first conclusion is that there is no such thing as absolute time.Furthermore according to relativity of simultaneity ...
Distinguishing causality principles
Common Cause Principle Localizability Algebraic quantum field theory
2016/5/31
We distinguish two sub-types of each of the two causality principles formulated in connection with the Common Cause Principle in Henson (2005) and raise and investigate the problem of logical relation...
Causality and Explanation in the Sciences

2016/5/30
Editors’ introduction to the special issue on the Causality and Explanation in the Sciences conference, held at the University of Ghent in September 2011.Presentación del número monográfico sobre el c...
Hume presents two definitions of cause in his \textit{Enquiry} which correspond to his two definitions in his \textit{Treatise}. The first of the definitions is ontological and the second is psycholog...
Reconsidering Relativistic Causality
relativistic causality superluminal signalling quantum electrodynamics
2008/4/22
I discuss the idea of relativistic causality, i.e. the requirement that causal processes or signals can propagate only within the light-cone. After briefly locating this requirement in the philosophy ...
Phillip Wolff opened the conference by motivating the need for and then outlining his framework for the representation of causation. It follows common linguistic usage of causal verbs, which are sort...
This paper compares the relative merits of two alternatives to traditional accounts of causal explanation: Jim Woodward's counterfactual invariance account, and the Mechanistic account of Machamer, Da...
Is There an Independent Principle of Causality in Physics? A Comment on Matthias Frisch, “Causal Reasoning in Physics.”
causality causation dispersion scattering
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...
Comment on Fritz Rohrlich's "Causality and the Arrow of Classical Time".
Arrow of time extended particles time reversal
2008/4/10
Rohrlich claims that ``the problem of the arrow of time in classical dynamics has been solved". The solution he proposes is based on the equations governing the motion of extended particles. Rohrlich ...
Cartwright's Theorem and Procedural Approach to Causality
causality invariance Nancy Cartwright
2008/4/10
N. Cartwright's recent results on invariance under intervention and causality (2003) are reconsidered. Procedural approach to causality elicited in this paper and contrasted with Cartwright's apparent...
This paper suggests an integration of Wesley Salmon's mechanistic theory of causality with a manipulative account of causation of the kind that has been recently defended by Huw Price and Peter Menzie...
