Do Linking‐Expression Substitutions Mitigate Deterministic Interpretations of Genetic Information
It is a common concern that broader audiences interpret scientific information about the genetic correlates and causes of complex human traits in an overly deterministic manner. A frequently proposed way to address this issue is to carefully select the linking expressions used to describe gene–trait relationships when communicating genetic information – for example, by replacing explicitly causal expressions with statistical ones, or by avoiding …
To reform or to eliminate an attractor
Machery, E. (2021). A new challenge to conceptual engineering. Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy. https://doi.org/10.1080/0020174X.2021.1967190 .) argues to have identified a novel reason why deficient concepts of a certain kind are better eliminated than reformed. Namely, if the deficient concept is an attractor—a concept that we are psychologically drawn to think with—then eliminating this concept is a more feasible alternativ…
Causal Social Construction
In the social constructionist literature, little has been said about what it means for social factors to cause X in such a way that X would count as causally socially constructed. In this paper, I argue that being caused by social factors - and thus being causally socially constructed - is best defined in terms of a contrastive counterfactual notion of causation. Unlike some plausible alternatives, this definition captures what is at stake in act…
