Abstract:
In this report, we introduce and evaluate contemporary causal logics, including those grounded in counterfactual theory and conditional logic, as well as those based on the theory of constant conjunction. We examine the merits and demerits of these frameworks and attempt to explain why a truly successful logic of causation has eluded us to this day.

Delivered in English.
