摘要

本文提出了一条反对无时间因果关系可能性的思路。这种可能性，只要它被认为是建立在路易斯的因果关系反事实理论之上，就经不起推究。关键的一点是，正如对事件的跨世界同一性的反思所揭示的那样，根据刘易斯自己的反事实语义学，剥夺了时间的(不同的)事件不再有资格站在反事实依赖性中。

Timeless Causation?

This paper presents a line of thought against the possibility of causation without time. That possibility, insofar as it is supposedly rested upon a Lewisian counterfactual theory of causation, does not stand up to scrutiny. The key point is that, as a reflection on the trans-world identity of events reveals, (distinct) events deprived of times are—according to Lewis’s own semantics of counterfactuals—no longer eligible to stand in counterfactual dependence.
