Physical Causation (Cambridge Studies in Probability, Induction and Decision Theory) by Phil Dowe

Cambridge Studies in Probability, Induction and Decision Theory

by Phil Dowe

Physical Causation discusses in a systematic way an original, positive account of the conserved quantities account of causal processes that Phil Dowe has been developing over the past ten years. Dowe offers a clear and original account of causation based firmly in contemporary science. This is an important, original book that will be widely discussed among philosophers and students working in contemporary metaphysics and philosophy of science, and also scientists with an interest in foundational issues.
