Causation is now commonly supposed to involve a succession that
instantiates some law-like regularity. Efficient Causation: A
History examines how our modern notion developed from a very
different understanding of efficient causation. This volume begins
with Aristotle's initial conception of efficient causation, and
then considers the transformations and reconsiderations of this
conception in late antiquity, medieval and modern philosophy,
ending with contemporary accounts of causation. It includes four
short "Reflections" that explore the significance of the concept
for literature, the history of music, the history of science, and
contemporary art theory.
