On Preemption and Overdetermination in Formal Theories of Causality [PDF]
One of the key challenges when looking for the causes of a complex event is to determine the causal status of factors that are neither individually necessary nor individually sufficient to produce that event.

An Analysis of Kant's Viewpoint on the Criterion of Moral Value Based on Henson and Herman's Interpretations [PDF]
Kant argues that an action is morally worthy only if it is done not from inclination or self-interest but from duty. In the Groundwork, he provides examples to illustrate that the presence of motives aligned with duty undermines the moral value of an ...

Overdetermined Hardy Inequalities [PDF]
The aim of the paper is to find necessary and sufficient conditions on the weights \(w\) and \(w_0\) for the validity of the higher-order Hardy inequality \[ \Biggl(\int^1_0| u|^qw_0\Biggr)^{1/q}\leq C\Biggl(\int^1_0| u^{(k+ 1)}|^p w\Biggr)^{1/p} \] on the class of all solutions of certain overdetermined boundary value problems.

A Model-Invariant Theory of Causation [PDF]
I provide a theory of causation within the causal modeling framework. In contrast to most of its predecessors, this theory is model-invariant in the following sense: if the theory says that C caused (didn't cause) E in a causal model, M, then it will ...

Causal Exclusion without Causal Sufficiency [PDF]
Some non-reductionists claim that so-called ‘exclusion arguments’ against their position rely on a notion of causal sufficiency that is particularly problematic.

This paper will focus on one element of the pushback against the massive influx of immigrants taken in for humanitarian purposes, namely, an identity-based chauvinism which uses identity as the point of resistance to the perceived dilution of that ...

Modelling Deep Indeterminacy [PDF]
This paper constructs a model of metaphysical indeterminacy that can accommodate a kind of ‘deep’ worldly indeterminacy that arguably arises in quantum mechanics via the Kochen-Specker theorem, and that is incompatible with prominent theories of ...

On Boundary Controllability for the Higher-Order Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation
A control problem with final overdetermination is considered for the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a bounded interval. The boundary condition on the space derivative is chosen as the control.

Casting a Shadow on Lewis’s Theory of Causation
First I present a puzzle involving two opaque objects and a shadow cast on the ground. After I offer a solution to this puzzle by identifying which of the objects is causally responsible for the shadow, I argue that this case poses a counterexample to ...
