Is supersymmetry a promising theory? Here is a philosophical analysis of naturalness arguments for #SUSY showing that some of these arguments have been problematically overstated from the start. https://t.co/o098PbWAaz

"Excited Delirium Syndrome" is a problematic diagnosis when applied to deaths in contexts of police violence. In this new paper @JukolaSaana and I analyze the epistemic conditions of forensic medicine that make the diagnosis so problematic: https://t.co/Dzc8PfZVBw

The driver failed to brake, but the brakes were broken anyway. What’s the cause of the accident?
See my new article in @EuroJPS for a discussion of the heuristic roles that causal models can play for solving such legal cases with complex causal structure. https://t.co/ki8rWGXspd

"We get this instinct that true science must start from a firm foundation. Time and again that's what I see NOT happening in the practice of science. We start from where we stand. The foundation is never indubitable, it's provisional" Hasok Chang out now!

@DAGophile If we understand causal concepts as tools, we should be pluralists about such concepts because they have partially diverging purposes (identifying intervention targets, assigning responsibility). https://t.co/BXbCu4QPKJ

A new #openaccess book review has been published @JGenPhilSci! @_EnnoFischer (@ruhrunibochum) discusses James Woodward's functional approach to causation that integrates descriptive & normative aspects. What do we want from causal reasoning? https://t.co/dQz6pBwXDr #philsci

[Enno Fischer @_EnnoFischer]

Can we improve causal concepts? I argue that the concept of actual causation is a multi-purpose tool. We use it for selecting interventions and for ascribing responsibility. Improving the concept for one purpose may have bad consequences for the other. https://t.co/BXbCu4QPKJ
