Causal Agnosticism About Race: Variable Selection Problems in Causal Inference.
This paper proposes a novel view in the the philosophy of race & causation literature known as "causal agnosticism" about race. Causal agnosticism about race implies that it is reasonable to refrain from making judgments about whether race is a cause. The paper's thesis asserts that certain conditio...

Causal agnosticism about race implies that it is reasonable to refrain from making judgments about whether race is a cause. The paper's thesis asserts that certain conditions must be met to infer that something is a cause, according to the fundamental assumptions of causal inference. However, in the case of race, these conditions are often violated. By advocating for causal agnosticism, the paper suggests a more modest approach to understanding the role of race in causal relationships. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Philosophy of Science is the property of Cambridge University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
