Causation, Freedom and Determinism (eBook, ePUB)

An Attempt to Solve the Causal Problem Through a Study of its Origins in Seventeenth-Century Philosophy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book, first published in 1936, divides into roughly two parts: a re-examination of historical material; and a positive theory of causation suggested by the results of this re-examination. The historical study discloses an ambiguity in the meanings of causation and determinism; it discloses also that this ambiguity is transferred to the meaning of freedom.
