We focus on the model's symmetries produced by requirements of nomic sufficient conditions for explanations. Such conditions, we argue, cannot translate correctly explanatory and causal relations.

Todas as nocoes modais devem ser explicadas em termos nao-modais, radicando naquilo que Lewis chamou de mosaico humiano – um vasto arranjo de fatos e propriedades ocorrentes. Eu analiso as vantagens e desvantagens da teoria, sugerindo que o objetivismo de Lewis deve ser atenuado, incluindo as regularidades sobre a nossa cognicao no mosaico humiano.

For Russell, there is an estrangement between the notion of cause and mature science of physics. The word cause (and its correlates) would not be used in physics, thus eliminating the main justification of philosophy for his job-the foundation of science. Thus, the various causal notions and the principle of causality should be abandoned by philosophers as something outdated. The aim of this study is to assess the extent to which our notion of cause, with its asymmetric nature, can be explained by physics and investigate the question of the existence of causes in our world.

Nós focalizamos a atenção sobre certas simetrias deste modelo geradas pela exigência de condições nomicamente suficientes para uma explicação. Tais condições, nós argüimos, são incapazes de traduzir corretamente as relações explanatórias e causais.
