Reason why

Usage examples of causation.

The Catalogue of Historical Material stored at Atacama gives a list of 2,362,705 books and gross files, up to date, and of these over 182,000 deal exclusively or largely with the causation of the war.

Such causation, though, falls desperately short of the call for the epistemic evidence that epistemically justifies beliefs.

The difficulty is that we are unable to attribute causation either to the bodies of the heavenly beings or to their wills: their bodies are excluded because the product transcends the causative power of body, their will because it would be unseemly to suppose divine beings to produce unseemliness.

An alternative, phenomenological interpretation of causality that is most appropriately applied to mental causation asserts simply: if a set of one or more events A precedes an event B, and B does not occur without the prior occurrence of A, then A is said to cause B.

The very metaphysical presuppositions differ: space does not conform to Euclidean geometry, time does not form a continuous unidirectional flow, causation does not conform to Aristotelian logic, man is not differentiated from non-man or life from death, as in our world.

For instance Contrast or Contrariety is also a connexion among Ideas: but it may, perhaps, be considered as a mixture of Causation and Resemblance.

No one can doubt but causation has the same influence as the other two relations of resemblance and contiguity.

Our idea, therefore, of necessity and causation arises entirely from the uniformity observable in the operations of nature, where similar objects are constantly conjoined together, and the mind is determined by custom to infer the one from the appearance of the other.

Certainly, the actions and the result may be truly flawed throughout the spectrum of causation and result.

Said in that manner, freedom is a reward from causation rather than a gift, and it requires significant time and understanding, even for the most committed, to achieve this progression of self-development.

Sometimes there have been blazes of hope, theories of causation and much heralded cures, but every time the darkness of failure quenched the flame.

The Soul raised over passion beholds identity and eternal causation, perceives the self-existence of Truth and Right, and calms itself with knowing that all things go well.

And the definition of perspectives and biographies, though it does not yet yield anything that would be commonly called "mental," is presupposed in mental phenomena, for example in mnemic causation: the causal unit in mnemic causation, which gives rise to Semon's engram, is the whole of one perspective-- not of any perspective, but of a perspective in a place where there is nervous tissue, or at any rate living tissue of some sort.

We must ask whether miracles are caused because the Preservers or their agents actively interfere in the world, or whether, because the Preservers created the world, miracles occur simply as part of a natural chain of causation that was ordained from the beginning.

Are they really gone, irrevocably lost, in a future which never existed, which couldnt exist, once the chain of causation was disturbed?
