Aims and Scope The concept of cause plays a central role in
explaining, controlling, and assigning responsibility for
events. Despite the concept’s long history in philosophy, there
is still no clear consensus on whether strict causal
relationships even exist. This new volume follows the proven
format of the Basic Questions in Philosophy series: After a
discussion of the concept's history, the author offers his own
approach with a view to contemporary debates, linking current
perspectives in philosophy with modern theories in the natural
sciences. - Approx. 216 pages - Type of Publication: -
