Necessity theory is a theory that uses causal necessity logic to describe the relationships between concepts. Learn how to formulate and test necessity hypotheses using NCA software and examples from different fields.
A THEORY OF NECESSITYt. ALAN BRUDNER* 'The several modes of feeling, perception, desire, and will, so far as we are aware.
Aug 15, 2003 · In a well-known attempt to use the terminology of necessary and sufficient conditions to illuminate what it is for one thing to be cause of another thing, J. L. Mackie proposes that causes are at a minimum INUS conditions, that is, “Insufficient but Necessary parts of a condition which is itself Unnecessary but Sufficient” for their effects (Mac...
Jul 15, 2015 · To be clear, this article is about a new data analytic tool, denoted necessary condition analysis, or NCA, which may be used alongside traditional data analytic tools (e.g., multiple regression, structural equation model). Both traditional data analysis and NCA may be used to draw causal inferences.
Jul 27, 2023 · Necessity logic provides a unique perspective in theory development. Impact Statement. Our research illuminates the concept of necessary causality, a little-understood logic of causality with implications for making parsimonious and accurate predictions.
We develop a theory of necessity operators within a version of higher-order logic that is neutral about how ne-grained reality is. The theory is axiomatized in terms of the primitive of being a necessity, and we show how the central notions in the philosophy of modality can be recovered from it.
Aug 27, 2021 · We develop a theory of necessity operators within a version of higher-order logic that is neutral about how fine-grained reality is. The theory is axiomatized in terms of the primitive of being a necessity, and we show how the central notions in the philosophy of modality can be recovered from it.
