Lewis theory of causation are involving chains of counterfactual dependence between events.
an example to think about as a test case for Lewis’s theory:
Suppose that the troops follow the same orders of the major and the sergeant, but the majors orders always trump those of the sergeant (meaning that if the troops receive orders from both the major and the sergeant, they always do what the major says).
Now, suppose the major and the sergeant yell March! at the same time, and the troops march forward.
See if you can explain why this example might present a problem for Lewis’s theory.
