Description
Causation: A Very Short Introduction by Stephen Mumford and Rani Lill Anjum explores the fundamental connection that underlies our understanding of the world. At its core, causation is essential for science, technology, and moral responsibility, as it allows us to make predictions and explanations about the world around us. The book delves into the key theories of causation and the surrounding debates and controversies, examining questions such as whether causes guarantee their effects, if causes must precede their effects, and whether causation can be reduced to physical forces. By exploring these topics, Mumford and Anjum aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of this complex concept. This introduction is part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, which offers concise and accessible guides to a wide range of subjects.
