TY - JOUR T1 - Unravelling the methodology of causal pluralism JF - Philosophica Y1 - 2008 A1 - Froeyman, Anton A1 - De Vreese, Leen AB -

In this paper we try to bring some clarification in the recent debate on causal pluralism. Our first aim is to clarify what it means to have a pluralistic theory of causation and to articulate the criteria by means of which a certain theory of causation can or cannot qua lify as a pluralistic theory of causation. We also show that there is currently no theory on the market which meets these criteria, and therefore no full-blown pluralistic theory of causation exists. Because of this, we offer a general strategy by means of which pluralistic theories of causation can be developed.
