Getting causes from powers [electronic resource] / Stephen Mumford and Rani Lill Anjum. Mumford, Stephen. Anjum, Rani Lill. Causation. BD541 122 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on print version record. Causation is everywhere in the world: it features in every science and technology. But how much do we understand it? Here the authors develop a new theory of causation based on an ontology of real powers or dispositions. They provide the first detailed outline of a thoroughly dispositional approach, and explore its surprising features.
