----- 宇宙的水泥：因果关系研究

ISBN: 9780198246428 出版年：2003 页码：348 Mackie, J L Clarendon Press

Studies causation both as a concept and as it is 'in the objects.' Offers new accounts of the logic of singular causal statements, the form of causal regularities, the detection of causal relationships, the asymmetry of cause and effect, and necessary connection, and it relates causation to functional and statistical laws and to teleology.
