A Regularity Theory of Causation

Andreas, Holger und Günther, Mario (2024): A Regularity Theory of Causation. In: Pacific Philosophical Quarterly

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a regularity theory of causation. The theory aims to be reductive and to align with our pre-theoretic understanding of the causal relation. We show that our theory can account for a wide range of causal scenarios, including isomorphic scenarios, omissions, and scenarios which suggest that causation is not transitive.
