| description | One of the solutions to Bernardete’s paradox and a number of analogous paradoxes
is based on the idea that there is a special type of causality — logical causality.
This solution was proposed by Hawthorne and modified by Uzquiano. The paper
presents a criticism on it. I put forward objections against Uzquiano’s modification
of Hawthorne theory as well as against the very idea of logical causality. The
conclusion is to the effect that, unless other reasons for the idea of logical causality
are present, this idea either is trivial or lacks sufficient reason. |
