Zusammenfassung: | <jats:p>Butterfield's (1992a,b,c) claim of the equivalence of absence of Lewisian probabilistic counterfactual causality (<jats:bold>LC</jats:bold>) to Hellman's stochastic Einstein locality (<jats:bold>SEL</jats:bold>) is questioned. Butterfield's assumption on which the proof of his claim is based would suffice to prove that <jats:bold>SEL</jats:bold> implies absence of <jats:bold>LC</jats:bold> also for appropriately given versions of these notions in algebraic quantum field theory, but the assumption is not an admissible one. The conclusion must be that the relation of <jats:bold>SEL</jats:bold> and absence of <jats:bold>LC</jats:bold> is open, and that they may be independent.</jats:p> |
