Conditional logic of actions and causation
In this paper we present a new approach to reasoning about actions and causation which is based on a conditional logic. The conditional implication is interpreted as causal implication. This makes it possible to formalize in a uniform way causal dependencies between actions and their immediate and indirect effects. The proposed approach also provides a natural formalization of concurrent action...
متن کاملLegal causation and responsibility for causing harm.
In the legal setting, "cause" is composed of at least two distinct components, of which only one is related to "causality" as scientists understand it.

متن کاملNon-Locality and Theories of Causation
In the natural as well as in the social or psychological domain, puzzling phenomena call for an explanation, and there is little doubt that the connection among quantum events across spacetime known as non-locality is indeed puzzling. Events that we might reasonably consider mutually independent, according to our best theory of space and time, turn out to influence each other. But as soon as we...
