Causality and Intervention in the Spin-Echo Experiments
causality irreversibility interventionism and explanatory depth causalidad irreversibilidad intervencionismo profundidad explicativa
2016/6/15
In the so-called “Spin-Echo Experiments” the behaviour of a spin’s system seems to violate the second law of thermodynamics. For this reason the “Spin-Echo Experiments” are considered of particular in...
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...

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...
Causal explanation beyond the gene: manipulation and causality in epigenetics
causation explanation intervention epigenetics methodology observational studies causalidad explicación intervención epigenética metodología estudios observacionales
2016/5/27
This paper deals with the interrelationship between causal explanation and methodology in a relatively young discipline in biology: epigenetics. Based on cases from molecular and ecological epigenetic...
What We Talk About When We Talk About Causality
causal explanation Woodward Mechanism Machamer-Darden-Craver
2011/9/6
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...
Analyzing Causality: The opposite of Counterfactual is Factual
causality explanation counterfactuals
2011/9/6
Using Jim Woodward's counterfactual dependency account of causality as an example, this paper argues that causal claims cannot be fuitfully analyzed by including the truth or falsity of counterfactual...
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...
