A preprint of the paper can be found at http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/ The abstract is below. "Causes that Make a Difference" Biologists studying complex causal systems typically identify some factors as the causes and treat other factors as background conditions. When geneticists explain biological phenomena, they often foreground genes as causes and the cellular milieu as background. But factors in the milieu are as causally necessary as genes for the production of phenotypic traits, even traits at the molecular level such as amino acid sequences. Gene-centered biology has been criticized on the grounds that because there is a parity among causes, the privileging of genes reflects a reductionist bias, not a difference based in reality. The idea that there is an ontological parity among causes is related to a philosophical puzzle identified by John Stuart Mill: what, other than our interests or biases, could possibly justify identifying some causes as the actual or operative ones, and others causes as mere background? The aim of this paper is to solve this conceptual puzzle. It turns out that solving that puzzle helps answer a seemingly unrelated philosophical question: what kind of causal generality matters in biology? From macintos at ucalgary.ca Mon Feb 11 08:19:20 2008 From: macintos at ucalgary.ca (Jack MacIntosh) Date: Mon Feb 11 08:19:12 2008 Subject: Two talks Message-ID: <9906e0ca472bea731becb165b072a8c7@ucalgary.ca> There are two upcoming talks which may be of interest to the HPS group: Descartes? Ontology of Everyday Life Deborah Brown Thursday, February 14, 4:00 p. m. SS 1253 Abstract The Scholastics? enumeration of forms tracked fairly consistently distinctions between objects made through ordinary perceptual experience, and thus offered a scientific explanation of nature congruent with ordinary experience. The objects of Scholastic metaphysics and science are the animals, plants, celestial bodies and middle-sized objects of ordinary perceptual experience. With the transition to mechanism and rejection (for the most part) of substantial forms, the objects of science are no longer the objects of ordinary perceptual experience and this incongruence immediately raises a question: Are the objects of ordinary experience real? Despite Descartes? commitment to mechanism and the fact that his ?official? ontology includes only two (created) substances ? mind and body, the objects of ordinary experience, it will be argued, have a claim to reality. ________________________________________________________________________ ___ Ockham?s ?Many Beings Calvin Normore SS 1253, Friday, February 15, 4:00 p. m. Abstract The main outlines of Ockham?s ontology are now taken for granted: he accepted both composite and simple individual substances and individual qualities of two kinds and rejected everything else. In truth though the picture is ?much more complicated. Unlike Aquinas, who thought ?each individual substance ?metaphysically ?prior to all of its parts (so that ?for him ?there is strictly speaking no water or any other simple element in an animal or other composite substance), Ockham thought that the parts of a composite ?are metaphysically prior to the whole. Unlike Scotus, who thought that these parts were bound together by a sui generis component ? the ?form of the whole? ? Ockham ?thought that a composite was just its parts. Moreover, although Ockham did think there was a univocal concept of being which applied to ?every single thing he also thought that ?being? was predicated equivocally across the categories. These features of his thought embroil Ockham in a number of mereological debates in which his positions both help shape certain characteristic features of early modern metaphysics and remain of interest today.

Karen is doing two talks, one a brown bag, informal, lunch time chat with the History and Philosophy of Science group from 12 - 1 in SS 623 (right at the back of the History Department), and one to the Philosophy Department at 4:00 in SS 1253. All are welcome to both. And please let your undergraduate classes know about them as well. We shall also be taking Karen to dinner Friday after the talk. If you know now whether you will come to dinner, please let me know. The lunchtime talk will be a work-in-progress talk about "Ideas, Institutions, and Early Modern Women Natural Philosophers"; the talk later in the afternoon will be on "Descartes on Teleology and Natures." Here is a slightly longer abstract than we had room for on the poster: Here are three features of Descartes? philosophy on the issue of teleology. First, he famously rejects the use of teleological explanations in natural philosophy. Second, in the Sixth Meditation Descartes seems to give a teleological account of the sensations of the human mind-body composite, saying that it is perfectly legitimate to account for certain characteristics of the composite in teleological terms while, at the same time, rejecting the legitimacy of teleological explanations in the case of purely material systems including living bodies ? a clock or a non-ensouled human body, for example. Third, Descartes routinely makes use of teleological- sounding explanations in his physiological works where he describes and explains the functional behaviors of non-human living bodies as well as of the living human body considered (counterfactually) in isolation from its soul. Take any two of these features together, and a tension arises ? three tensions in all. My goal with this paper is not to sort out all aspects of Descartes? position on teleological explanations, human composites, and other living bodies. Rather my goal is to clarify at least some of the issues at stake by providing an analysis of the Sixth Meditation passage, including examining its context, both immediate (the rest of the Meditations) and broad (by looking at a few crucial elements in pre-modern theories of teleology). The crucial distinction that must be borne in mind when reading the Sixth Meditation passage is that between the nature of an object on the one hand and teleological explanations of various features of objects on the other hand. The Sixth Meditation passage is first and foremost about natures, and whatever Descartes says about teleology here is derivative of this primary interest. Specifically, Descartes makes a distinction between human composites ? which have an intrinsic end-referred nature ? and purely material systems ? which do not have intrinsic end-referred natures. Thus, one can give a teleological explanation for the behaviors of the human composite by making reference solely to the composite?s nature, while teleological explanations for non-human composites will necessarily have to make reference to something extrinsic to the composite. This essay focuses on making sense of (a) the nature of the composite as presented in the Meditations, (b) the sort of teleological explanation which follows from a consideration of the composite?s nature, and (c) how we might resolve (in ways not yet suggested in the secondary literature) the tension between Descartes? anti-teleology statements and his teleological claims about the human composite in the Sixth Meditation. I end with some brief reflections on the impact of my reading of the Sixth Meditation upon the broader issue of teleological explanations in Descartes? physiological writings, and on a post-Darwinian form of teleological explanation which Descartes obliquely anticipates.
