The reaction was panic, as it always was before artificial lighting eased the terror and before the general public knew that eclipses of the sun or moon were predictable, explainable events.
This can be seen by considering the following dilemma: assuming the interaction principle, to hold that all causally explainable events have a physical causal explanation entails either that those mental events which cause physical events are also physical token-identity or else that these physical token-identity orelsemined by bothathysical and menthesevents.
The latter's falsity the existence of strict psychophysical laws of succession together with the cause-law and interaction principles is compatible with there not being a physical cause for every causally explainable physical event.
Notice first that to hold, as Davidson does, that the mental is an 'open' system that mental events causally interact with physical events does not by itself entail that the physical is 'closed' in the sense that every causally explainable physical event has a physical cause.
[ 1- 3, 5] If a common cause cannot be identified, then an additional question the public often wants answered is whether the cluster is explainable as a chance event or whether it truly represents a statistical excess.
Perhaps Emre did not believe that September 11 was a straightforward affair of evidence and proof because his experience – his reality – taught him that very rarely were any of these surreally monumental events easily explainable.
Some of Romney's transformation is explainable as the result of ideological regionalism.
