Philosophers have long been fascinated by the connection between
cause and effect: are 'causes' things we can experience, or are
they concepts provided by our minds? The study of causation goes
back to Aristotle, but resurged with David Hume and Immanuel Kant,
and is now one of the most important topics in metaphysics. Most of
the recent work done in this area has attempted to place causation
in a deterministic, scientific, worldview. But what about the
unpredictable and chancey world we actually live in: can one theory
of causation cover all instances of cause and effect? Cause and
Chance: Causation in an Indeterministic World is a collection of
specially written papers by world-class metaphysicians. Its focus
is the problem facing the 'reductionist' approach to causation: the
attempt to cover all types of causation, deterministic and
indeterministic, with one basic theory. Contributors: Stephen
Barker, Helen Beebee, Phil Dowe, Dorothy Edgington, Doug Ehring,
Chris Hitchcock, Igal Kwart, Paul Noordhof, Murali Ramachandran and
Michael Tooley.
