社会科学家在他们的解释中呼吁使用各种“结构”,包括公共政策、经济制度和社会等级制度。围绕这些因素对健康、行为和经济模式等不同结果的解释相关性展开了重大辩论。本文对Haslanger(2016)提出的社会结构解释进行了因果解释。这一解释表明,社会结构可以通过作为因果约束来解释,因果约束是具有独特特征的因果因素。为理解这些解释提供了一个新的因果框架-该框架解决了关于社会结构的神秘因果影响的谜题,如何理解其与个人选择的关系,以及是什么使其成为各种结果的主要解释(和因果责任)因素。
Social scientists appeal to various “structures” in their explanations including public policies, economic systems, and social hierarchies. Significant debate surrounds the explanatory relevance of these factors for various outcomes such as health, behavioral, and economic patterns. This paper provides a causal account of social structural explanation that is motivated by Haslanger (2016). This account suggests that social structure can be explanatory in virtue of operating as a causal constraint, which is a causal factor with unique characteristics. A novel causal framework is provided for understanding these explanations–this framework addresses puzzles regarding the mysterious causal influence of social structure, how to understand its relation to individual choice, and what makes it the main explanatory (and causally responsible) factor for various outcomes.
