"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: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
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. doi.org/10.1007/s13194-023-0…

"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!

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? link.springer.com/article/10… #philsci
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. link.springer.com/article/10…

Just accepted: Naturalness and the Forward-Looking Justification of Scientific Principles philsci-archive.pitt.edu/208…
My answer: naturalness was partly motivated through its coherence with major theoretical proposals. This reverses the common way principles operate.
