Getting Rid of Interventions
No full textAccording to James Woodward’s influential interventionist account of causation, X is a cause of Y iff, roughly, there is a possible intervention on X that changes Y. Woodward requires that interventions be merely logically possible. I will argue for two claims against this modal character of interventions: First, merely logically possible interventions are dispensable for the semantic project of providing an account of the meaning of causal statements. If interventions are indeed dispensable, the interventionist theory collapses into (some sort of) a counterfactual theory of causation. Thus, the interventionist theory is not tenable as a theory of causation in its own right. Second, if one maintains that merely logically possible interventions are indispensable, then interventions with this modal character lead to the fatal result that interventionist counterfactuals are evaluated inadequately. Consequently, interventionists offer an inadequate theory of causation. I suggest that if we are concerned with explicating causal concepts and stating the truth-conditions of causal claims we best get rid of Woodwardian interventions

A literary history of the Atlantic Monthly magazine: 1909-1929
No full text[The first purpose of this work is to present a literary
history of the Atlantic Monthly between 1909 and 1929. The
second is to observe the decline of the genteel tradition in
American intellectual life. In 1909 Ellery Sedgwick began
his twenty-eight year editorship of the magazine and gradually
but thoroughly remade its editorial policy, emphasizing current
affairs and supplementing belles-lettres with less
formal narratives of personal experience.
Sedgwick's literary tastes were relatively conservative
and those of his readers, who included vieilles filles of
both sexes, more so. But the magazine continued to attract
serious writers. During Sedgwick's first decade he published
fiction and essays by Edith Wharton, J.J. Chapman, Owen
Wister, H.L. Mencken, Agnes Repplier, Gamaliel Bradford,
John Galsworthy, Laurence Binyon, F.L. Lucas, John Buchan,
Edward Garnett, Havelock Ellis, John Masefield, H.G. Wells
and Bertrand Russell. The traditional English literary
influence remained strong.
