chapter
posted on 2023-06-08, 00:55 authored by Murali RamachandranThis paper identifies some simple counterexamples to Lewis's account of indeterministic causation in terms of chance and counterfactuals. It proposes a different account to handle these problems, by way of introducing a notion of 'overall world chance'.

Notes
