Hunting Causes and Using Them

Approaches in Philosophy and Economics

1 edition

Hunting Causes and Using Them argues that causation is not one thing, as commonly assumed, but many. There is a huge variety of causal relations, each with different characterizing features, different methods for discovery and different uses to which it can be put. In this collection of new and previously published essays, Nancy Cartwright provides a critical survey of philosophical and economic literature on causality, with a special focus on the currently fashionable Bayes-nets and invariance methods CfI and it exposes a huge gap in that literature. Almost every account treats either exclusively how to hunt causes or how to use them. But where is the bridge between? ItCfUs no good knowing how to warrant a causal claim if we donCfUt know what we can do with that claim once we have it. This book will interest philosophers, economists and social scientists.
