Description
Causation by Douglas Kutach provides a comprehensive introduction to the philosophy of causation. This accessible exploration covers various theories and examples across disciplines, including science, law, medicine, and everyday life. The book delves into four recurring distinctions in the literature on causation, examining accounts such as determination, difference making, and probability-raising. It also considers their application to the mind-body problem, offering a clear guide for those interested in understanding this fundamental philosophical topic. A straightforward and compact survey of contemporary approaches to causation, Causation is an ideal resource for anyone seeking to navigate the complex ideas surrounding this concept.
