About

Areas of Research:

Philosophy of Economics & Social Sciences

Causation (especially, I'm interested in theories of causation in the special sciences such counterfactual & interventionist theories and Bayes' Nets approaches; my own approach is the comparative variability theory of causation)

Ceteris Paribus Laws (i.e. non-universal generalizations in the special sciences, and their impact on theories of causation, explanation and objective probabilities)

Metaphysics of Science (direction of causation, dispositions, Humean Supervenience, structural realism, time).

Philosophy of Complex Systems (laws of complex systems)
