Proportionality in Causation, Part II: Applications and Challenges
Philosophy Compass 19 (1):e12960 (2024)
Abstract
In ‘Proportionality in Causation, Part I: Theories’, I presented various ways of understanding the idea that causes which are ‘proportional’ to their effects are in some sense preferable. In this companion article, I discuss the principal applications of the resulting theories of proportionality, and the challenges they face.Author's Profile
