This book, geared toward academic researchers and graduate
students, brings together research on all facets of how time and
causality relate across the sciences. Time is fundamental to how we
perceive and reason about causes. It lets us immediately rule out
the sound of a car crash as its cause. That a cause happens before
its effect has been a core, and often unquestioned, part of how we
describe causality. Research across disciplines shows that the
relationship is much more complex than that. This book explores
what that means for both the metaphysics and epistemology of causes
- what they are and how we can find them. Across psychology,
biology, and the social sciences, common themes emerge, suggesting
that time plays a critical role in our understanding. The
increasing availability of large time series datasets allows us to
ask new questions about causality, necessitating new methods for
modeling dynamic systems and incorporating mechanistic information
into causal models.
