DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores the relation be
 tween causal inference and conditional/counterfact
 ual inference. We will focus in particular on the 
 asymmetric nature of both types of inference. We b
 ring together expertise from philosophy, psycholog
 y and artificial intelligence to address the follo
 wing questions: How to account for the relative ea
 se of causal inference (reasoning from cause to ef
 fect) compared to diagnostic inference (reasoning 
 from effect to cause)?Do we have to distinguish di
 fferent reasoning strategies to interpret conditio
 nal sentences and how does this relate to the dist
 inction between causal inference and diagnostic in
 ference?Are Causal Models appropriate to account f
 or 1. and for the analysis of conditionals?
