標題: | Counterfactual Reasoning and Explanatory Relations | 作者: | Deng, Duen-min | 關鍵字: | counterfactual reasoning; explanatory relations; possible world semantics; causal models; premise semantics | 公開日期: | 2018 | 出版社: | INST EUROPEAN & AMER STUDIES | 卷: | 48 | 期: | 4 | 起(迄)頁: | 549 | 來源出版物: | EURAMERICA | 摘要: | There is an intimate connection between "counterfactual reasoning" and "explanatory relations." On the one hand, "counterfactual reasoning" plays a crucial role in helping us establish certain explanatory relations, as it is widely acknowledged that explanatory relations have counterfactual implications, by which we may test whether a given explanatory relation holds. On the other hand, explanatory relations also play a crucial role in our counterfactual reasoning. This, however, is comparatively less discussed in the literature, and it is the aim of this paper to explicate it more clearly, with a special focus on the role of explanatory relations in our understanding of counterfactual conditionals. I shall examine the alleged connection through the main semantic frameworks for counterfactual conditionals, including the possible world semantics, causal models, and the premise semantics. |
