Mechanisms And The Nature Of Causation, Stuart Glennan Jan 1996

Mechanisms And The Nature Of Causation, Stuart Glennan

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

In this paper I offer an analysis of causation based upon a theory of mechanisms – complex systems whose "internal" parts interact to produce a system's "external" behavior. I argue that all but the fundamental laws of physics can be explained by reference to mechanisms. Mechanisms provide an epistemologically unproblematic way to explain the necessity which is often taken to distinguish laws from other generalizations. This account of necessity leads to a theory of causation according to which events are causally related when there is a mechanism that connects them. I present reasons why the lack of an account of …

The Protagoras: Judge ... Jury ... And Explication, Patrick Hamilton Jun 1992

The Protagoras: Judge ... Jury ... And Explication, Patrick Hamilton

Anthós Journal (1990-1996)

The idea of a trial is a strong aspect of the structure of Socrates’s direct conversation with Protagoras in Plato’s Protagoras.
