The Volitional Theory of Causation

From Berkeley to the Twentieth Century

Beschreibung

This work traces the development of a philosophical theory about causality--the volitional theory of causation-- which supposes the underlying nature of causation as something revealed to us in the experience of our own will. It offers both a history of philosophy and a chance to think about the complex puzzles of both causation and human will.
