Causes and Explanations: A Structural-Model Approach, Part I: Causes
<|reference_start|>Causes and Explanations: A Structural-Model Approach, Part I: Causes: We propose a new definition of actual cause, using structural equations to model counterfactuals. We show that the definition yields a plausible and elegant account of causation that handles well examples which have caused problems for other definitions and resolves major difficulties in the traditional account.<|reference_end|>
