Journal Article
Discussion: Screening-off and Visibility to Selection
- Creators
- Hitchcock, Christopher Read
Abstract
Philosophers have used the probabilistic relation of 'screening-off' to explicate concepts in the theories of causation and explanation. Brandon has used screening-off relations in an attempt to reconstruct an argument of Mayr and Gould that natural selection acts at the level of the organism. I argue that Brandon's reconstruction is unsuccessful.
