The End of the World? Mental Causation, Explanation and Metaphysics
Keywords:
explanatory practices, metaphysics, negotiation model
Abstract
In this paper we offer some ideas on the relationship between metaphysics of causation and common explanatory practices of behaviour. We first suggest a sort of “negotiating model” for theorizing about mental causation, and then examine the so-called causal closure argument focusing on some morals one can draw from it that further illustrate the model we recommend.
