This article takes stock of the regularity theory of causation. It considers three challenges to the theory: the problem of joint effects, the problems of redundant causation, and omission‐involving causation. The former is often cited as a special, and especially challenging, problem for regularity theories. But the force of this problem has been greatly overstated. The threat to regularity theories instead comes from the latter two.

总结因果规律性理论

本文总结了因果关系的规律性理论。它考虑了该理论的三个挑战：联合效应问题，冗余因果关系问题和涉及遗漏的因果关系问题。对于正则性理论，前者通常被认为是一个特殊的，特别具有挑战性的问题。但是这个问题的力量被大大地夸大了。相反，对规律性理论的威胁来自后两者。
