Strengthened Ramsey Test and Regularity Theories of Causation
Regularity theories of causation can transform causal problems into regular problems,but it is also questioned by academic circles because of the existence of singular causal relations problems and spurious cause problems.Strengthened Ramsey test can solve the problem of spurious causes,which pro-vides a new way to solve the problems faced by causality theory.However,strengthened Ramsey test cannot explain singular causal relations problems,and Bell-type experiments prove that quantum does not follow Bell inequality,that is,there is an inverse causal relationship,which is obviously contrary to the positive reasoning required by strengthened Ramsey test.From the logical point of view,strengthened Ramsey test is essentially a non-monotonic reasoning,which is not true.Therefore,I believe that strengthened Ramsey test can not drag the theory of causality out of the quagmire of being questioned.
