DESCRIPTION:What does it mean that an event C ``actually caused'' event E?T
 he problem of defining actual causation goes beyond mere philosophical spe
 culation.  For example\, in many legal arguments\, it is precisely what ne
 eds to be established in order to determine responsibility.   (What exactl
 y was the actual cause of the car accident or the medical problem?) The ph
 ilosophy literature has been struggling with the problem of defining causa
 lity since the days of Hume\, in the 1700s. Many of the definitions have b
 een couched in terms of counterfactuals. (C is a cause of E if\, had C not
  happened\, then E would not have happened.) In 2001\, Judea Pearl and I i
 ntroduced a new definition of actual cause\, using Pearl's notion of struc
 tural equations to model counterfactuals.  The definition has been revised
  twice since then\, extended to deal with notions like 'responsibility' an
 d 'blame'\, and applied in databases and program verification.  I survey t
 he last 15 years of work here\, including joint work with Judea Pearl\, Ha
 na Chockler\, and Chris Hitchcock.  The talk will be completely self-conta
 ined.Prof. Joe Halpern (Cornell University) will give this very lecture at
  the National Geographic Festival Delle Scienze 'Le Cause delle Cose' pres
 so L'Auditorium Parco della Musica. His talk there will be the same day Ap
 rill 19\, 2018 in the evening. https://www.auditorium.com/rassegna/nationa
