Counterfactuals and the Past Hypothesis
Philosophy of Science 72 (5):739-750 (2005)
Abstract
Albert provides a sketch of an entropy account of the causal and counterfactual asymmetries. This paper critically examines a proposal that may be thought to fill in some of the lacunae in Albert’s account.Author's Profile
