Abstract

We argue that the claim that essence-based causal explanations emerge, hydra-like, from an inherence heuristic is incomplete. No plausible mechanism for the transition from concrete properties, or cues, to essences is provided. Moreover, the fundamental shotgun and storytelling mechanisms of the inherence heuristic are not clearly enough specified to distinguish them, developmentally, from associative or causal networks.

摘要

我们认为，那种认为基于本质的因果解释像九头蛇一样从内在性启发式中涌现出来的观点是不完整的。没有提供从具体属性或线索到本质的过渡的合理机制。此外，内在性启发式的基本散弹枪和讲故事机制并没有被明确地指定，无法将它们在发展上与联想或因果网络区分开来。
