The spirit in which we are asking these questions is not to demand definitive answers to them, but to make the point that many choices are possible. Indeed, as we shall see, many different responses to the above questions are exemplif ...

Logic in Nonmonotonic Reasoning

Such derived effects should be taken into account when combined with the inertia assumption, since they override the latter. The ramification problem has raised general questions on the nature of caus ...
