The Debate between Causal Realism and Causal Constructivism: Metaphilosophical Reflections

Abstract

In this paper I discuss, from a metaphilosophical point of view, the debate between causal realism and causal constructivism. First , I argue that the debate, if it is couche d in the general terms as it is t raditionally done , re sts on a false di lemma. Then I argue that the debate must be disentangled into several more specific debates in order to be interesting.
