This chapter examines textual representations of slavery—both nonfictional accounts like Douglass’s autobiographies and the interviews with formerly enslaved people conducted by the Works Progress Administration, and fictions like Delany’s Blake, Stowe’s Dred, and Chesnutt’s conjure tales—that figure the plantation as the site of a mindreading arms ...

The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2005
Summary: Nancy Cartwright offers an account of causal powers, and argues that it explains some important general features of scientific method. Patricia Cheng argues that this theory is superior as a psychological theory of learning to standard models of conditioning. I extend and develop the theory, and argue that it provides the best explanation of a

Quality and Quantity, 1974
The article first establishes the conceptual link between power and causality. It then attempts to review the literature on power from the causal modelling perspective. The implications of seeing power as a slope and a constant relationship are developed: the advantages of Harsanyi's measure of power are discussed as well as weaknesses in the ...

Andreas Hüttemann disagrees with Hill and Ott regarding the relevance of the early modern critiques of causal powers for contemporary practitioners. He argues that the contemporary acceptance of powers and dispositions is insulated against the early modern criticism because the emergence of powers nowadays is not a ‘revival of’ or ‘return to’ the ...

Brian Ellis provides a detailed and systemic overview of his version of dispositional essentialism. Ellis is famous for having developed and defended a mixed ontology for scientific realism. This is a robustly Aristotelian ontology that involves a mix of categorical and essentially dispositional properties inhering as universal in individualized ...

This chapter investigates the ontology of causal power and causal influence that was suggested by the discussion of reductive explanation in the previous two chapters. In particular, it is suggested that we should understand causal powers to be dispositions to manifest causal influence. Such powers, it is shown, can be given a conditional analysis that
