Hunting Causes and Using Them argues that causation is not one
thing, as commonly assumed, but many. There is a huge variety of
causal relations, each with different characterizing features,
different methods for discovery and different uses to which it can
be put. In this collection of new and previously published essays,
Nancy Cartwright provides a critical survey of philosophical and
economic literature on causality, with a special focus on the
currently fashionable Bayes-nets and invariance methods ??? and it
exposes a huge gap in that literature. Almost every account treats
either exclusively how to hunt causes or how to use them. But where
is the bridge between? It??'s no good knowing how to warrant a
causal claim if we don???t know what we can do with that claim once
we have it. This book will interest philosophers, economists and
social scientists.
