Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores philosophical ideas surrounding causality, arguing that the concept of causation is rooted in our own experience of agency and ability to produce change through effort. The author challenges the prevailing view that causation is merely the invariable sequence of events, proposing instead that it requires the active exercise of power. The book traces the development of our understanding of causality from its origins in our innate knowledge of effort to its more complex manifestations in scientific inquiry. Through an examination of both material and mental phenomena, the author argues that true causation involves the exertion of a sufficient power, and that the effect is always simultaneous with the action of its cause. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of this understanding for our comprehension of the natural world and our place within it.
