| dc.description.abstract | Philosophers have proposed many alleged examples of non-causal explanations
of particular events. I discuss several well-known examples and argue
that they fail to be non-causal.
1. Questions
2. Preliminaries
3. Explanations that Cite Causally Inert Entities
4. Explanations that Merely Cite Laws, I
5. Stellar Collapse
6. Explanations that Merely Cite Laws, II
7. A Final Example
8. Conclusion | en_US |
