4Cartwright, Causality, and CoincidencePSA Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1986 (1): 42-58. 1986.In How the Laws of Physics Lie (1983)2 Cartwright argues for being a realist about theoretical entities but non-realist about theoretical laws. Her reason for this distinction is that only the former involves causal explanation, and accepting causal explanations commits us to the existence of the causal entity invoked. “What is special about explanation by theoretical entity is that it is causal explanation, and existence is an internal characteristic of causal claims. There is nothing similar f…Read more
