Document Summary
Mills methods: 1) method of agreement a. Suppose e occurs in situations s1 and s2. But factor f is only the only common factor in both s1 and s2, then f is the cause of e. i. s1- A,s,d,f,g,h= makes e s1- x,c,f,v,b= makes e then f is cause for e. Suppose s1 and s2 share every common factor except s1 has f and s2 doesn"t. 3) joint method of agreement and difference: a. Combination of 1) and 2) when problem has overlap and differences: patterns. Efficient causes and structuring causes: efficient causes what we usually mean by causes , structuring causes- frame worl of factors that enabled a chain of efficient events to occur.
