The Debate between Causal Realism and Causal Constructivism: Metaphilosophical Reflections

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper I discuss, from a metaphilosophical point of view, the debate between causal realism and causal constructivism.First, I argue that the debate, if it is couched in the general terms as it is traditionally done, rests on a false dilemma.Then I argue that the debate must be disentangled into several more specific debates in order to be interesting.
