Paperback or Softback. Zustand: New. Metaphysics of Causation. Book.

Paperback. Zustand: New. This Element presents the main attempts to account for causation as a metaphysical concept, in terms of 1) regularities and laws of nature, 2) conditional probabilities and Bayes nets, 3) necessitation between universals and causal powers, 4) counterfactual dependence, 5) interventions and causal models, and 6) processes and mechanisms. None of these accounts can provide a complete reductive analysis. However, some provide the means to distinguish several useful concepts of causation, such as total cause, contributing cause, direct and indirect cause, and actual cause. Moreover, some of these accounts can be construed so as to complement each other. The last part presents some contemporary debates: on the relation between grounding and causation, eliminativism with respect to causation in physics, the challenge against 'downward' causation from the Closure and Exclusion principles, robust and proportional causation, and degrees of causation. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. …

Zustand: Neuf. # Broché: 182 pages # Parution : 2 octobre 2005 # Collection : Rencontres DE Normales Sup # Présentation de l'éditeur D'un homme, on dit qu'il est grand, mais aussi irascible; du cuivre qu'il est rouge, mais aussi malléable et fusible à 1084 °C. La philosophie redécouvre aujourd'hui que notre monde ne compte pas seulement des propriétés manifestes, mais aussi des potentialités, capacités, puissances, vertus et autres dispositions. Pendant longtemps, ces qualités furent impitoyablement bannies des discours scientifique et philosophique pour leur obscurité ou leur trivialité : à quoi sert-il de dire que l'opium endort parce qu'il possède une vertu dormitive ? La notion de disposition céda la à la notion de loi, enregistrement de régularités dans la succession d'événements. Ce volume veut rendre témoignage de l'intérêt nouveau que la notion de " disposition " suscite chez les philosophes contemporains. Les textes ici présentés ont le souci commun d'en défendre la cohérence et de montrer que nos explications causales peuvent difficilement s'en passer. Quel rapport la notion de pouvoir entretient-elle avec celle de loi ? Une disposition se réduit-elle au mécanisme physique qui la sous-tend ? La relation entre un pouvoir et son exercice est-elle logique ou causale ? Voici quelques-unes des questions auxquelles cet ouvrage tente d'apporter des réponses. # Biographie de l'auteur Bruno Gnassounou est ancien élève de l'ENS de la rue d'Ulm, agrégé de philosophie et maître de conférences à l'université de Nantes. Il a publié plusieurs articles sur la philosophie de l'action et la philosophie du langage. Max Kistler est maître de conférences à l'université de Paris X-Nanterre. Ses recherches portent sur la philosophie des sciences et la philosophie de l'esprit, en particulier sur les notions de causalité, de loi de la nature, de réduction et d'émergence. Il est l'auteur de Causalité et lois de la nature (1999) et co-auteur de La Philosophie des sciences au XXe siècle (2000).…

Paperback. Zustand: New. The idea that persons or animals possess properties of two types, physical and mental, or psychological and cognitive, inevitably raises the question of how such cognitive properties can be causally efficacious, with respect to other cognitive, physiological, or physical properties, of the person herself or her environment. People, though composed exclusively of atoms like any other material object, have emergent properties that none of those components possess. Among them are cognitive properties. These properties give a person the power to cause both cognitive and physiological events and processes. The Material Mind defends a version of reductionist materialism. It modifies the conceptual framework of the debate by situating psychological and physiological properties of persons within a hierarchy of levels of reality. The Material Mind develops a concept of reduction that is compatible both with scientific change and with the possibility of multiple reduction bases. It shows that cognitive and other higher-level properties can be construed as causal powers, develops a concept of emergence compatible with reduction, and shows that the integration of the mind into a scientific conception of the world does not deprive mental properties and events of causal efficacy. The book defends the possibility of downward causation of physiological effects by cognitive causes, by questioning the justification of both the principle of the causal closure of the physical domain and the principle of causal-explanatory exclusion.…
