Can Counterfactuals Solve the Exclusion Problem?
A quite popular approach to solving the Causal Exclusion Problem is to adopt a counterfactual theory of causation. In this paper, I distinguish three versions of the Causal Exclusion Argument. I argue that the counterfactualist approach can block the first two exclusion arguments, because the Causal Inheritance Principle and the Upward Causation Principle upon which the two arguments are based ...

PURPOSE This study investigates whether data available at the time of residency application can be used to predict more accurately future problems of performance, both during and after residency. METHOD The authors identified all residents with reported problematic behavior across 20 years (1987-2007) at a single residency program and created a set of matched controls.

متن کاملHow Expressivists Can and Should Solve Their Problem with Negation
Expressivists have a problem with negation. The problem is that they have not, to date, been able to explain why ‘murdering is wrong’ and ‘murdering is not wrong’ are inconsistent sentences. In this paper, I explain the nature of the problem, and why the best efforts of Gibbard, Dreier, and Horgan and Timmons don’t solve it. Then I show how to diagnose where the problem comes from, and conseque...
متن کاملCan we solve asynchronous byzantine consensus without cryptography?
Lamport [1] presented lower bound results on the number of acceptors required as a function of the number of processes that can fail so that fast asynchronous consensus can be achieved in the byzantine setting for favourable runs. The lower bounds presented assume that processes can use public-key cryptography during the computation. We explore how the lower bound results change if the public-k...
متن کاملHow can we boost IQs of "dull children"?: A late adoption study.
From 5,003 files of adopted children, 65 deprived children, defined as abused and/or neglected during infancy, were strictly selected with particular reference to two criteria: (i) They were adopted between 4 and 6 years of age, and (ii) they had an IQ <86 (mean = 77, SD = 6.3) before adoption. The average IQs of adopted children in lower and higher socioeconomic status (SES) families were 85 (...
