Max Kistler reconstructs a unified concept of causation that is general enough to adequately deal with both elementary physical processes, and the macroscopic level of phenomena we encounter in everyday life.This book will be of great interest to philosophers of science and metaphysics, and also to students and scholars of philosophy of mind where concepts of causation and law play a prominent role.Routledge studies in contemporary philosophy ;2.CausationPhilosophy of natureCausation.Philosophy of nature.1225,1ssgnCC 3200rvkKistler Max732673MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910765846403321Causation and laws of nature2948572UNINA
