{"product_id":"novelty-donald-a-crosby-9780739109847","title":"Novelty","description":"The question of causality has haunted the history of Western metaphysics since the time of the Pre-Socratic philosophy. Hand-in-hand with attempts to address this question is the promise of unlocking larger and more complicated questions pertaining to human freedom. But what of novelty?
