摘要

在本文中，我们对 Andreas 和 Günther (Pacific Philosophical Quarterly 105: 2-32, 2024) 中提出的因果关系规律性理论进行了非还原性的变异。该变体的动机是对刘易斯（《哲学杂志》70:556-567，1973 年）的正则性理论的完善。我们在此不追求还原理论，因为我们发现鲍姆加特纳（Erkenntnis 78:85-109，2013）的正则性理论面临挑战，而这一挑战也适用于我们之前的理论。我们通过一个类似于结构方程的法则命题框架回避了这一挑战。我们还进一步改进了前一理论的偏差条件。最后，我们证明本理论可以与最先进的规律性和反事实理论相媲美。

A Lewisian regularity theory

In this paper, we develop a non-reductive variant of the regularity theory of causation proposed in Andreas and Günther (Pacific Philosophical Quarterly 105: 2–32, 2024). The variant is motivated as a refinement of Lewis’s (Journal of Philosophy 70:556–567, 1973) regularity theory. We do not pursue a reductive theory here because we found a challenge for Baumgartner's (Erkenntnis 78:85–109, 2013) regularity theory which applies to our previous theory as well. The challenge is sidestepped by a framework of law-like propositions resembling structural equations. We furthermore improve the deviancy condition of our previous theory. Finally, we show that the present theory can compete with the most advanced regularity and counterfactual accounts.

期刊介绍： Philosophical Studies was founded in 1950 by Herbert Feigl and Wilfrid Sellars to provide a periodical dedicated to work in analytic philosophy. The journal remains devoted to the publication of papers in exclusively analytic philosophy. Papers applying formal techniques to philosophical problems are welcome. The principal aim is to publish articles that are models of clarity and precision in dealing with significant philosophical issues. It is intended that readers of the journal will be kept abreast of the central issues and problems of contemporary analytic philosophy. Double-blind review procedure The journal follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. Authors are therefore requested to place their name and affiliation on a separate page. Self-identifying citations and references in the article text should either be avoided or left blank when manuscripts are first submitted. Authors are responsible for reinserting self-identifying citations and references when manuscripts are prepared for final submission.
