I increasingly feel that academics are witch hunting each other about using AI. There must be better ways to deal with this.

From the latest issue: 'The Counterpossibles of Science versus the Science of Counterpossibles' — Daniel Dohrn Read it here: buff.ly/3VbGm6I #philsci #philsky

ABSTRACT Orthodoxy has it that all counterpossibles are vacuously true. Yet there are strong arguments both for and against the use of non-vacuous counterpossibles in metaphysics. Even more compelling evidence may be expected from science. Arguably philosophy should defer to best scientific practice. If scientific practice comes with a commitment to non-vacuous counterpossibles, this may be the decisive reason to reject semantic orthodoxy and accept non-vacuity. I critically examine various examples of the purported scientific use of non-vacuous counterpossibles and argue that they are not convincing. They neither establish that scientific practice comes with a commitment to the non-vacuity of counterpossibles, nor that incurring such a commitment would be useful in scientific practice. I illustrate a variety of counter-strategies on behalf of orthodoxy.

From the latest issue: Halpern and Pearl’s Definition of Explanation Amended – Jan Borner Read it here: buff.ly/4hnxHqw #philsci #philsci

ABSTRACT: Halpern and Pearl use the framework of structural equation models to define a notion of explanation that is based on actual causation. But while Halpern and Pearl’s definition of actual causation has been met with ample, often constructive, criticism, their subsequent definition of explanation has not faced similar scrutiny. It only under-went a slight reformulation by Halpern. In this article, I will show that Halpern and Pearl’s definition of explanation is, despite many promising features, still problematic, even if we presuppose adequately defined causal concepts. I will propose some changes to Halpern and Pearl’s definition and argue that those changes are able to resolve the revealed problems while maintaining all the benefits of their approach.
