Actual CausalityJoseph Y. Halpern, Cornell UniversityA new approach for de� ning causality and such related notions as degree of responsibility, degrees of blame, and causal explanation.

“How do we decide that someone is to blame for some misfortune, or that someone deserves credit for a favorable turn of events? Answering these questions and others depends on understanding how people represent and reason about the causal structure underlying specifi c events. The problem has plagued philosophers, legal and moral theorists, as well as psychol-ogists. Recent years have seen enormous progress on this problem by using structural equations to model causal structure and defi ning causal relations in terms of counter-factuals. Much of this progress is due to the seminal work of Joe Halpern. His theories of blame and responsibility assignment and epistemic explanation are developed and expounded with full formal rigor in this semi-nal contribution.”—Steven Sloman, Professor, Brown UniversitySeptember 2016 | 240 pp. | $50.00/£41.95 978-0-262-03502-6
