What does causation consist in, and,
depending on the possible answers, what
are the basic characteristics of a
causal relationship? -- this is the main
topic of the lecture course. We
shall also discuss the most important
contexts of causality: the relationship
of causality to concepts of explanation,
law-like regularity, statistical
correlation, time, modality, and logical
inference. Our considerations will be
based on the analysis of the causal
narratives in our scientific, first of
all, physical theories; rather than our
every day experiences or common sense
intuition.
The lecture slides will be
available in a pdf file.
