{"product_id":"the-effectiveness-of-causes-dorothy-emmet-9781349071678","title":"The Effectiveness of Causes","description":"The Effectiveness of Causes presents a strong view of causation seen as an operation between participants in events, and not as a relation holding between events themselves. In it, Emmet proposes that other philosophical views of cause and effect provide only a world of events, each of which is presented as an unchanging unit. Such a world, she contends, is a Zeno universe, since transitions and movement are lost. \u003cbr\u003eEmmet offers a more complex interpretation of the various forms of causal dependence. She sees immanent causation in the mere persistence of things, where effects are not temporarily separable from causes, and she considers the operation of efficacious grace. \u003cbr\u003eThis is a new approach to the traditional problem and provides stimulating implications for the other metaphysical questions and for the philosophy of science.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dorothy Emmet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1349071676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781349071678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.34d","brand":"Dorothy Emmet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419463827711,"sku":"9781349071678","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29521e75-63d7-4d87-a65b-64b5429a5e3f.jpg?v=1761511679","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-effectiveness-of-causes-dorothy-emmet-9781349071678","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
