Causation and Mental Causation
How the mind of a human being can determine the bodily spirits [i.e., the fluids in the nerves, muscles, etc.] in producing voluntary actions, being only a thinking substance. For it appears that all determination of movement is produced by the pushing of the thing being moved, by the manner in which it is pushed by that which moves it, or else by the qualification and figure of the surface of ...
متن کاملFrom Correlation to Causation to Control: Utilizing Preclinical Disease Models to Improve Cancer Target Discovery
Adaptation of genomic and proteomic methods to preclinical animal cancer models promises to revolutionize cancer drug target discovery. Preclinical cancer models uniquely permit focusing on the salient aspect of a drug target, genes, and proteins associated with changes in established tumors. We have identified a direct and rapid manner to use animal cancer models to identify proteins associate...
متن کاملRepresenting causation.
The dynamics model, which is based on L. Talmy's (1988) theory of force dynamics, characterizes causation as a pattern of forces and a position vector. In contrast to counterfactual and probabilistic models, the dynamics model naturally distinguishes between different cause-related concepts and explains the induction of causal relationships from single observations. Support for the model is pro...
متن کاملEmergent Causation
The notion of an emergent property has aroused much recent discussion among both scientists and philosophers. Many quite different kinds of properties have been described as ‘emergent’, the only clear common factor being the broad idea that when a physical system of sufficient complexity is in a suitable configuration new properties ‘emerge’ in a way that could not have been predicted from the ...

This paper is the most complete presentation of my views on deterministic causation. It develops the deterministic theory in perfect parallel to my theory of probabilistic causation and thus unites the two aspects. It also argues that the theory presented is superior to all regularity and all counterfactual theories of causation.
