摘要
威廉姆斯提出了反事实贫乏性问题。在本文中,我仔细考察了威廉姆斯的贫乏性结果所依赖的四个前提,并在结构因果模型的框架内,证明了这四个前提中的两个前提(CRT和CVPP)分别应用于两种不同类型的反事实条件句,所以在两个前提中所使用的P~A(C)并不等价,从而证明了威廉姆斯的贫乏性结果并不成立。
J. Williams(2012) proposes a version of counterfactual triviality(CT). I carefully examine the four premises on which Williams’ CT relies. Within the framework of the Structural Causal Model(SCM), I show that two of them(CRT and CVPP) apply to two different types of counterfactuals respectively, so that the PA(C) of them is not equivalent, thus proving that Williams’ version of CT is not valid.
