摘要: According to a standard theory of probabilistic causality, causes C raise the probability their effects E within causally homogeneous background contexts. More precisely, let K i ’s be maximal conjunctions factors — not including C, not-C, or thereof that are relevant E. Then if and only if, for each i, Pr(E/K issues which two versions is more plausible irrelevant I wish discuss, this will simplify my discussion.
