{"product_id":"9781907962417","title":"Causal Asymmetry \u0026 The Explanatory Constraint","description":"Causation is an asymmetric relation - if C causes E, then E does not cause C. In this book it is argued that: 1) Two major theories of causation - the regularity theory and the counterfactual theory - cannot adequately account for causal asymmetry; 2) Causal asymmetry consists in the explanatory asymmetry between cause and effect; 3) Generally, the notion of causation is dependent on the notion of explanation; in other words, explanation sets a conceptual constraint on causation. In reaching these conclusions, issues about simultaneous causation, backwards causation and absence causation are discussed.","brand":"Cranmore Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047637401840,"sku":"9781907962417","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907962417_p0.jpg?v=1763621361","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907962417","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
