In philosophy, we can use what’s called a “counterfactual conditional” to judge causation: If A didn’t happen, then B wouldn’t happen either. This helps us tell the difference between mere correlation and real causation.
But it’s not always so simple. Take this case: people eventually die no matter what. So when someone is shot, how do we define that death as being caused by the gunshot?
