High-Level Exceptions Explained
2014
Overview
Why are causal generalizations in the higher-level sciences \"inexact\"? That is, why do they have apparent exceptions? This paper offers one explanation: many causal generalizations cite as their antecedent—the F in F s are G—a property that is not causally relevant to the consequent, but which is rather \"entangled\" with a causally relevant property. Entanglement is a relation that may exist for many reasons, and that allows of exceptions. Causal generalizations that specify entangled but causally irrelevant antecedents therefore tolerate exceptions.
