only and causality

Some philosophers, in particular, worry that the arguments against ceteris paribus analyses depend on a tacit reductionism about analysis: The assumption seems to be that, in order to give a conceptual analysis of a concept C, you must be able to explain C entirely in terms that have nothing to do with C. For these philosophers, a ceteris paribus clause may be indicative of virtuous circularity in an analysis rather than vicious circularity: That is, that we cannot ultimately explain ( say ) causation in terms that do not tacitly or explicitly have causal implications ; but rather than indicating the need for further analysis, they argue, the ineliminable dependence on ceteris paribus clauses or further causal talk may just show that causality cannot be explained in non-causal terms, but rather that terms like " natural law " and " cause " and " accident " can be explained only in terms of one another, by elucidating the connections between them.
