1. Causation
Expository Part: What do you take to be the most promising formulation of a reductionist theory to causation, and what are some of the most important objections that have been directed against the account in question?
Original part: Either
• 1. defend the theory by giving reasons for rejecting all or some of these objections in the literature (and then introduce some possible objections to your defense and a further defense against such possible objections to your defense) or
• 2. modify the theory of causation to take account of these objections in the literature that you (and then introduce some possible objections to your modified theory and a further defense against these possible objections to your modification along with your reply to those possible objections) or
• 3. give new objections to the theory not found in the readings (and then introduce some possible objections to your new objections and a further defense against such possible objections to your new objections.)
