Causal Models and Metaphysics - Part 1: Using Causal Models
Philosophy Compass (forthcoming)
Abstract
This paper provides a general introduction to the use of causal models in the metaphysics of causation, specifically structural equation models and directed acyclic graphs. It reviews the formal framework, lays out a method of interpretation capable of representing different underlying metaphysical relations, and describes the use of these models in analyzing causation.Author's Profile
