Natural selection and mechanistic regularity
Toward a propensity interpretation of stochastic mechanism for the life sciences
Against Regular and Irregular Characterizations of Mechanisms
This article addresses the question of whether we should conceive of mechanisms as productive of change in a regular way. I argue that, if mechanisms are characterized as fully regular, on the one hand, then not enough processes will count as mechanisms for them to be interesting or useful. If no appeal to regularity is made at all in their characterization, on the other hand, then mechanisms can no longer be useful for grounding prediction and s…
