From Cause to Causation presents both a critical analysis of C.S.
Peirce's conception of causation, and a novel approach to
causation, based upon the semeiotic of Peirce.
The book begins with a review of the history of causation, and with
a critical discussion of contemporary theories of the concept of
cause'. The author uncovers a number of inadequacies in the
received views of causation, and discusses their historical roots.
He makes a distinction between "causality," which is the relation
between cause and effect, and causation, which is the production of
a certain effect. He argues that, by focusing on causality, the
contemporary theories fatally neglect the more fundamental problem
of causation. The author successively discusses Peirce's theories
of final causation, natural classes, semeiotic, and semeiotic
causation. Finally, he uses Peirce's semeiotic to develop a new
approach to causation, which relates causation to our experience of
signs.
