The critique of the theory of logical causality

One of the solutions to Bernardete’s paradox and a number of analogous paradoxes is based on the idea that there is a special type of causality — logical causality.

description One of the solutions to Bernardete’s paradox and a number of analogous paradoxes is based on the idea that there is a special type of causality — logical causality. This solution was proposed by Hawthorne and modified by Uzquiano. The paper presents a criticism on it. I put forward objections against Uzquiano’s modification of Hawthorne theory as well as against the very idea of logical causality. The conclusion is to the effect that, unless other reasons for the idea of logical causality are present, this idea either is trivial or lacks sufficient reason.
