SUMMARY:Pluralism about actual causation - Enno Fischer (Leibniz Universit
 ät Hannover)
DTSTART:20191120T130000Z
DTEND:20191120T143000Z
UID:TALK132106@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Matt Farr
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will suggest a pluralism with regard to actual 
 causation: there is not a single and unified concept but a plurality of co
 ncepts of actual causation. The motivation for this pluralism is functiona
 l. The concepts need to be distinguished because otherwise they do not fac
 ilitate some of their key purposes: intervention and the ascription of res
 ponsibility. I will also explore some consequences for theories of causal 
 models.
