The 'microcausality' condition in quantum field theory is typically resented and justified on the basis of general principles of physical causality. I explore in detail a number of alternative causal interpretations of ...

Una estrategia recientemente utilizada por los defensores del realismo científico ha sido derivar implicaciones ontológicas del contexto manipulativo- experimental. El artículo pretende comparar y valorar dos enfoques ...

All accounts of causality that presuppose the propagation or transfer or some physical stuff to be an essential art of the causal relation rely for the force of their causal claims on a principle of conservation for that ...

The correlations between distant systems in typical quantum situations, such as Einstein-Podolosky-Rosen experiments, strongly suggest that the quantum realm involves curious types of non-local influences. In this paper, ...

I defend the conserved quantity theory of causation against two objections: firstly, that to tie the notion of "cause"to conservation laws is impossible, circular or metaphysically counterintuitive ; and secondly, that the ...
