摘要:

我们提出了一个新的定义的实际原因,使用结构方程模型的反事实。我们表明,定义产生一个似是而非的和优雅的因果关系,处理好的例子,造成了问题的其他定义和解决的主要困难,在traditional account。在一篇配套文章中,我们展示了因果关系的定义如何被用来给出(因果)解释的优雅定义。

英文摘要:

We propose a new definition of actual causes, using structural equations to model counterfactuals.We show that the definitions yield a plausible and elegant account ofcausation that handles well examples which have caused problems forother definitions and resolves major difficulties in the traditionalaccount. In a companion paper, we show how the definition of causality can beused to give an elegant definition of (causal) explanation.
