Causation and Laws of Nature
Résumé
This book is a modified version of "Causalité et lois de la nature", published in 1999. The question we shall try to answer is the following: Can we reconstruct the concept of causation that claims both objectivity and compatibility with a world view grounded in contemporary science? My strategy will be to answer this question in the affirmative by effecting a reconstruction of the concept of causation, articulating its presuppositions and testing its fecundity in the analysis of causal explanation, as it exists both in the sciences and in commonsense.
