Forthcoming
“Explanatory Depth” [PDF] [PhilPapers]
(forthcoming in Philosophy of Science)
I defend an account of explanatory depth according to which explanations in the non-fundamental sciences can be deeper than explanations in fundamental physics.
Under Review
“Exclusion Excluded” [PDF] [PhilPapers]
I argue that an independently attractive account of causation and causal explanation provides a principled resolution of the exclusion problem.
In Progress
“Statistical Mechanical Imperialism” [coming soon]
I argue against the claim, advanced by David Albert and Barry Loewer, that all non-fundamental laws can be derived from those required to underwrite the second law of thermodynamics.
