Description

Explore the deep connection between cause and effect in this profound philosophical work. Cause and Chance: Causation in an Indeterministic World, part of the International Library of Philosophy, addresses the fundamental question of whether causes are observable experiences or mental concepts. While the study of causation dates back to Aristotle and saw major developments through David Hume and Immanuel Kant, modern metaphysics often attempts to fit causation into a deterministic, scientific worldview. This book challenges that norm by examining the unpredictable and chance-based world we actually inhabit. It asks whether a single theory of causation can account for all instances of cause and effect, even in an indeterministic environment. This text is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the philosophy of science and metaphysics. It provides a rigorous look at how we understand the mechanics of the universe beyond simple determinism.
