Resumo: | Recent works have proposed a treatment of grounding “inthe image of causation”. There are important analogies between grounding andcausation: both seem to be ‘building’ relations, both seem to be strict orders,and both seem amenable to representation by models of structural equations(cf. Schaffer, 2016; Wilson, 2018). But it seems also that there are importantdifferences, because causation is usually considered as an external relation,while grounding is internal; there are cases of probabilistic causation, but thereis nothing like probabilistic grounding; grounding is taken to be a well-foundedrelation, but not causation; grounding entails ontological supervenience, butnot causation. It is argued here that most of those supposed differences aremotivated by a Humean conception of causation in which there are no necessaryconnections between cause and effect. A non-Humean view of causation, though,makes the unification of grounding and causation much more reasonable thatany separate treatment. |

Hay importantes analogías entre la fundación y la causalidad: ambas parecen ser relaciones de ‘construcción’, ambas parecen ser órdenes estrictos y ambas parecen ser representables por modelos de ecuaciones estructurales (cf. Schaffer, 2016; Wilson, 2018). Pero también parece que hay importantes diferencias, porque la causalidad es usualmente considerada como una relación externa, mientras que la fundación es interna; hay casos de causalidad probabilística, pero no hay nada como una fundación probabilística; la fundación se considera una relación ‘bien fundada’, pero no la causalidad; la fundación implica superveniencia ontológica, pero no la causalidad. Se argumenta aquí que la mayoría de estas supuestas diferencias están motivadas por una concepción humeana de la causalidad en la que no hay conexiones necesarias entre causa y efecto. Una perspectiva no humeana de la causalidad, sin embargo, hace que la unificación de la fundación y lacausalidad sea mucho más razonable que cualquier tratamiento separado.Revista KriterionRevista KriterionKriterion: Revista de FilosofiaKriterion: Revista de FilosofiaRevista Kriterion2022-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/article/view/29070Revista Kriterion; Vol. 63 No. 151 (2022)Revista Kriterion; Vol. 63 Núm. 151 (2022)Kriterion: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 63 No 151 (2022)Kriterion: Revista de Filosofia; V. 63 N. 151 (2022)Revista Kriterion; v. 63 n. 151 (2022)1981-53360100-512Xreponame:Kriterion (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGspahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/article/view/29070/30018Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Kriterionhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlvarado, José Tomás2022-05-31T19:42:41Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/29070Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterionPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/oairevistakriterion@gmail.com1981-53360100-512Xopendoar:2024-01-24T12:41:26.737023Kriterion (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |

Recent works have proposed a treatment of grounding “inthe image of causation”. There are important analogies between grounding andcausation: both seem to be ‘building’ relations, both seem to be strict orders,and both seem amenable to representation by models of structural equations(cf. Schaffer, 2016; Wilson, 2018). But it seems also that there are importantdifferences, because causation is usually considered as an external relation,while grounding is internal; there are cases of probabilistic causation, but thereis nothing like probabilistic grounding; grounding is taken to be a well-foundedrelation, but not causation; grounding entails ontological supervenience, butnot causation. It is argued here that most of those supposed differences aremotivated by a Humean conception of causation in which there are no necessaryconnections between cause and effect. A non-Humean view of causation, though,makes the unification of grounding and causation much more reasonable thatany separate treatment. |
