I deny that the world is fundamentally causal, deriving the skepticism on non-Humean grounds from our enduring failures to find a contingent, universal principle of causality that holds true of our science. I explain the prevalence and fertilit
y of causal notions in science by arguing that a causal character for many sciences can be recovered, when they are restricted to appropriately hospitable domains. There they conform to a loose collection of causal notions that form a folk science of caus
a
tion. This recovery of causation exploits the same generative power of reduction relations that allows us to recover gravity as a force from Einstein's general relativity and heat as a conserved fluid, the caloric, from modern thermal physics, when each t
heory is restricted to appropriate domains. Causes are real in science to the same degree as caloric and gravitational forces.

\insrsid15810011 This is not to say that causal talk is meaningless or useless\emdash far from it. Such talk remains a most helpful way of conceiving the world and I will try to explain shortly how that is possible. What I do deny
is that the task of science is to find the particular expressions of some fundamental causal principle in the domains of each of the sciences. My argument will be that centuries of failed attempts to formulate a principle of causality, robustly true unde
r
the introduction of new scientific theories, have left the notion of causation so plastic that virtually any new science can be made to conform to it. Such a plastic notion fails to restrict possibility and is physically empty. This form of causal skepti
cism is non-Humean; it is not motivated by an austere epistemology but by taking the content of our mature scientific theories seriously.
\par \tab Mature sciences, I maintain, are adequate to account for their realms without need of supplement by causal notions and
principles. The latter belong to earlier efforts to understand our natural world or to simplified reformulations of our mature theories, intended to trade precision for intelligibility. In this sense I will characterize causal notions as belonging to a k
i
nd of folk science, a crude and poorly grounded imitation of more developed sciences. While this folk science is something less than our best science, I by no means intend to portray it as a pure fiction. Rather I will seek to establish how its content ca
n be licensed by our best science, without the causal notions becoming fundamental:

\insrsid15810011 This generative power is important and familiar. It allows Einstein's general theory of relativity to return gravity to us as a Newtonian force in our solar system, even though Einstein's theory assur
es us that gravity is fundamentally not a force at all. And it explains why, as long as no processes interchange heat and work, heat will behave like a conserved fluid, as caloric theorists urged. In both domains it can be heuristically enormously helpful
to treat gravity as a force or heat as a fluid and we can do so on the authority of our best sciences. My positive thesis is that causes and causal principles are recovered from science in the same way and have the same status: they are heuristically usef
ul notions, licensed by our best sciences, but we should not mistake them for the fundamental principles of nature. Indeed we may say that causes are real to the same degree that we are willing to say that caloric or gravitational forces are real.

the most minute detail\emdash the picking of the lock, the bagging of the cash\emdash
without ever actually mentioning "theft" or "robbery." If one thinks cause might have a similar surreptitious role in science, it is sobering to compare the case of causation with energ
y. Many sciences deal with a common entity, energy, which manifests itself quite directly throughout the science. Sometimes it appears by name\emdash kinetic energy, potential energy, field energy, elastic energy\emdash
and other times it appears as a synonym: heat, wor
k or the Hamiltonian. However there is little doubt that each of the sciences is dealing with the very same thing. In each science, the energies can be measured on the same scale, so many Joules, for example, and there are innumerable processes that conve
rt the energy of one science into the energy of another, affirming that it is all the same stuff. The term is not decorative; it is central to each theory.

Discerning how causation restricts the possibilities has been the subject of a long tradition of accounts of the nature of cause and effect and of the law or principle of causality. One cle
ar lesson is learned from the history of these traditions. Any substantial restriction that they try to place on a science eventually fails. There are no shortages of candidates for the factual restriction of the first horn. The trouble is, none work. Let
us take a brief tour.
\par \tab Aristotle described four notions of cause: the material, efficient, final and formal; with the efficient and final conforming most closely to the sorts of things we would now count as a cause. The final cause, the goal towards which
a process moves, was clearly modeled on the analogy between animate processes and the process of interest. In the seventeenth century, with the rise of the mechanical philosophy, it was deemed that final causes simply did not have the fundamental status o
f efficient causes and that all science was to be reconstructed using efficient causes alone. (De Angelis, 1973) Although talk of final causes lingers on, this is a blow from which final causes have never properly recovered.
\par \tab The efficient cause, the agent that brings about the process, provided its share of befuddlement. Newton (1692/93; third letter) pulled no punches in his denunciation of gravity as causal action at a distance:

\insrsid15810011 Causes cannot act where they are not. Nonetheless several centuries of failed attempts to find a mechanism or even finite speed for the propagation of gravity brought a grudgin
g acceptance in the nineteenth century that this particular cause could indeed act where it was not.
\par \tab In the same century, causes were pressed to the forefront as science came to be characterized as the systematic search for causes, as in Mill's, }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\insrsid15810011 System of Logic}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0
\insrsid15810011
. At the same time, an enlightened, skeptical view sought to strip the notion of causation of its unnecessary metaphysical and scholastic decorations. While it might be customary to distinguish in causal processes between agent and patient, that whic
h acts and that which is acted upon, Mill (1872, Bk III, Ch.V,\'a74) urged that the distinction is merely a convenience. Or, he urged, the continued existence of the cause is not needed after all for the persistence of the effect (\'a7
7). All that remained was
the notion that the cause is simply the unconditional, invariant antecedent: "For every event there exists some combination of objects or events, some given concurrence of circumstances, positive and negative, the occurrence of which is always followed by
that phenomenon." (\'a72)
\par \tab Causation had been reduced to determinism: fix the present conditions sufficiently expansively and the future course is thereby fixed. Thus the nineteenth brought us the enduring image of Laplace's famous calculating intelligence, w
ho could compute the entire past and future history of the universe from the forces prevailing and the present state of things. This great feat was derived directly from the notion that cause implied determinism, as the opening sentence of Laplace's (1825
, p.2) passage avows: "We ought then to consider the present state of the universe as the effect of its previous state and the cause of that which is to follow."
\par \tab This lean and purified notion of causation was ripe for catastrophe, for it inhered in just o
ne fragile notion, determinism. The advent of modern quantum theory in the 1920s brought its downfall. For in the standard approach, the best quantum theory could often deliver were }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\insrsid15810011 probabilities}{
\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15810011 for future occurrences. The most complete specification of t
he state of the universe now cannot determine whether some particular Radium-221 atom will decay over the next 30 seconds (its half life); the best we say is that there is a chance of 1/2 of decay. A lament for the loss of the law of causality became a fi
xture in modern physics texts. (e.g., Born 1935, p.102.)
\par \tab While the refutation seemed complete, causation survived, weakly. If causes could not compel their effects, then at least they may raise the probabilities. A new notion of causation was born, probabilistic causation.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs16

Quantum theory brought other, profound difficulties for causation. Through its no
n-separability, quantum theory allows that two particles that once interacted may remain entangled, even though they might travel light years away from each other, so that the behavior of one might still be affected instantly by that of the other. This pl

, 2000) That means, that we can always find circumstances in which the full specification of the present fails to fix the future. In failing to fix the future, the theories do not restrict the range of possibilities probabilistically, designating some as
m
ore likely than others. They offer no probabilities at all. This failure of determinism is a commonplace for general relativity that derives directly from its complicated spacetime geometries in which different parts of spacetime may be thoroughly isolate
d
from others. For determinism to succeed, it must be possible to select a spatial slice of spacetime that can function as the "now" and is sufficiently well connected with all future times that all future processes are already manifest in some trace form
o
n it. Very commonly spacetimes of general relativity do not admit such spatial slices. What is less well known is that indeterminism can arise in ordinary Newtonian physics. Sometimes it arises in exotic ways, with "space invaders" materializing with unbo
u
nded speed from infinity and with no trace in earlier times; or it may arise in the interactions of infinitely many masses. In other cases, it arises in such prosaic circumstances that one wonders how it could be overlooked and the myth of determinism in
classical physics sustained. A simple example is described in the next section.
\par \tab With this catalog of failure, it surely requires a little more than na\'efve optimism to hope that we still might find some contingent principle of causality that can be demanded
of all future sciences. In this regard, the most promising of all present views of causation is the process view of Dowe, Salmon and others (Dowe 1997). In identifying a causal process as one that transmits a conserved quantity through a continuous spati
o
temporal pathway, it seeks to answer most responsibly to the content of our mature sciences. In so far as the theory merely seeks to identify which processes in present science ought to be labeled causal and which are not, it succeeds better than any othe
r account I know. If however, it is intended to provide a factual basis for a universal principle of causality, then it is an attempt at }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\insrsid15810011 a priori}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15810011
science, made all the more fragile by its strong content. If the world is causal according to its strictures, then it must rule out }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\insrsid15810011 a priori}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15810011
the possibility of action at a distance, in contradiction with the standard view of gravitation in science in the 19th century and the non-local processes that seem to be emerging from present quantum theory. Similar problems
arise in the selection of the conserved quantity. If we restrict the conserved quantity to a few favored ones, such as energy and momentum, we risk refutation by developments in theory. Certain Newtonian systems are already known to violate energy and mom
e

principle, but just one that holds in some subdomain of science that is fenced off from the pathologically acausal parts of science. The first problem with this proposal is that we do not know where to put the fence. The common wisdom has been that the f
e
nce should lie between the pathologically acausal quantum theory and the causally well-behaved classical physics. Yet some dispute whether quantum theory has shrunk the domain in which the causal principle holds. (Bunge, 1979, pp. 346-51; Margenau, 1950,
p
. 96, 414). And the example of the next section shows that even the simplest classical physics still admits acausal pathologies. The second problem is, if we did find where to put the fence, what confidence can we have of finding a single principle that a
p
plies in the causal domain? The proliferation of different accounts of causation and the flourishing literature of counterexamples suggests no general agreement even on what it means to say that something is a cause. So perhaps we should also give up the
search for a }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\insrsid15810011 single}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15810011 principle and allow each causally well-behaved science to come with its own, distinct principle of causality.}{\rtlch\fcs1

Or we may purchase broad scope by formulating a principle so impoverished that it no longer resembles causation but contradicts no present science. Margenau (1950, \'a7
19.5) proposes that causality is the "temporal invariability of laws": "Causality holds if the laws of nature (differential equations) governing closed systems do not contain the time variable in explicit form."}}}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0
\insrsid15810011 Now
the real danger is that we eviscerate the notion of causation of any factual content. For now we can go to each science and find some comfortable sense in which it satisfies its own principle of causality. Since, with only a little creativity, that can b
e done with essentially any science, real or imagined, the demand of conformity to cause and effect places no restriction on factual content\emdash and we have left the realm of the first horn.

\par \tab
Appealing as these approaches may be, they do not defeat this second horn of the dilemma. One could well imagine that a concept of causation might be indispensable or an injunction to find causes heuristically useful, if the conception of causation ref
lected some factual properties of the world. Then something like causation must arise when we conform our concepts to the world. Or an heuristic principle could exploit those facts to assist discovery. But that is the province of the first horn, where I h
a
ve already described my reasons for doubting that there are such facts. The presumption of this second horn is that there are no such factual properties of the world. In the context of this second horn, conceptual indispensability or heuristic fertility m
u
st derive not from facts in the world but from facts about us, our psychology and our methods. So a supposed indispensability or fertility of the notion of causation is at most telling us something about us and does not establish that the would is governe
d at some fundamental level by a principle of causality.

This dominant tradition of causal skepticism in philosophical analysis depends upon an austere epistemology that denies we can infer to entities, causal or otherwise, beyond direct experience. What passes as
causation is really just constant conjunction or functional dependence within actual experiences. Hume (1777, Section VII, Parts I-II) initiated the tradition when he urged that the necessity of causal connection cannot be discerned in the appearances; t
he latter supply only constant conjunctions. The critique was sustained by the positivists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries as part of their program of elimination of metaphysics. Mach (1960, p. 580, his emphasis) concluded "\'85
there is no cause nor effect in nature; nature has but an individual existence; nature simple }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\insrsid15810011 is}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15810011
." Where Hume saw constant conjunction, Mach saw functional dependence: "The concept of cause is replaced \'85 by the concept of function: the determining of the dependence of phenomena on one another, the economic exposition of actual facts\'85
" (Mach, 1960, p. 325). Very similar themes are found in Pearson (1911, p.vi, Ch. IV, V). Russell (1903, p. 478; 1917, pp. 142, 150-51) also endorsed a functionalist view akin to Mach's.

. The skepticism of this paper is grounded in the content of our mature sciences and the history of its development. Skepticism about causal fundamentalism is derived from the failure of that content and history to support a stable, factual notion
of causation. In so far as it is able to take the content of our mature sciences seriously, with that content extending well beyond direct experience, it relies on a fertile epistemology rather than the barren epistemology of Humean and positivist skeptic
i
sm. I believe this anti-fundamentalist form of causal skepticism is quite broadly spread. What did the most to promote the view was the advent of quantum theory and the resulting demise of determinism. On the basis of the content of the latest science, a
g
eneration of physicists and philosophers of science lamented the failure of causation. However I have found it hard to locate strongly argued developments of the lament into anti-fundamentalism. It appears to be the position of Campbell (1957, Ch. III). H
e
noted than the relations expressed by many laws of nature cannot be causal, since they do not conform to the characteristic properties of causal relations: they are temporal, asymmetric and binary. "So," he concluded (p. 56), "far from all laws asserting
causal relations, it is doubtful whether any assert them."

In this view causal skepticism is derived from the possibility of formulating our sciences without explicitly causal terms, like cause and effect. Bunge (1979, p. 345) correctly protested that this is a simple verbal trap and not strong enough to support
a
robust skepticism. However there is a converse trap. Most forms of causal skepticism, including mine, lead to the view that the notion of cause is dispensable. Mach (1894, p. 254) "hope[d] that the science of the future will discard the idea of cause and
effect, as being formally obscure\'85" But that should then not be mistaken as the basis of their skepticism.

If we describe the solutions of (3) in words, we see they amount to a violation of the natural expectation that some cause must set the mass in motion. Equation (3) describes a point mass sitting at rest at the
apex of the dome, whereupon at an arbitrary time t=T it spontaneously moves off in some arbitrary radial direction.

In this last case, we have ended up with the mass momentarily at rest at the one force free point on the dome, the one point where, if it is at rest, the mass can (but must not) remain at rest. So let us imagine that it does remain at rest once it arrives

In an analogous analysis, we consider trajectories with too much initial velocity so that the mass reaches the apex with some non-zero velocity and passes over it. We reduce the initial velocity until the velocity at the apex is zero and then proceed as
in the first analysis.}}}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15810011
\par \tab An important feature of Newtonian mechanics is that it is time reversible; or at least that the dynamics of gravitational systems invoked here are time reversible. This means that we can take any motion allowed by Newton's theory a
nd generate another just by imagining that motion run in reverse in time. So let us do that with the motion we have just generated. That reversed motion corresponds to a mass that remains at rest at the apex of the dome for some arbitrary time period and
then spontaneously moves off towards the rim. And that is just a qualitative description of one of the solutions of (3).
\par \tab This time reversal trick is powerful, but we must be cautious not to overrate it. It is best used just to make the acausal behavior pla
usible, while the proper mathematical analysis of (1), (3) and (4) proves it. The reason is that there is a loophole. The spontaneous motion can happen only on domes of the right shape, such as those of Figure 1a. It cannot happen on others such as a hemi
spherical dome. The time reversal argument fails for these other cases for a reason that is easy to overlook. As we proceed through the trajectories T}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39\afs16 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs16\dn6\insrsid15810011 1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0

ut bound. The final trajectory we seek, the one that momentarily halts at the apex, turns out to require infinite time. This means that the mass never actually arrives. Its time reverse displays a mass that has been in motion at all past times, without an
y spontaneous launches. The corresponding time for the dome of Figure 1a, however, is finite, so the analysis does succeed for this case.

r scientific picture of the natural world and my goal in the positive thesis is to find it. I shall urge that the place of causes in science is closely analogous to the place of superceded theories. In 1900, our picture of the natural world seemed secure.
We concluded that the planet earth orbited the sun because of a gravitational force exerted on it by the sun; and matter consisted of many small charged particles, called ions or electrons. All this was supported by an impressive body of observational and
experimental evidence. Three decades later, these conclusions had been overturned. Einstein's general theory of relativity assured us that gravitation was not a force after all, but a curvature of spacetime. Quantum theory revealed that our fundamental pa
rticles were some mysterious conglomeration of both particle and wavelike properties.
\par \tab The earlier theories did not disappear; and they could not. The large bodies of evidence amassed by Newton in favor of gravitational forces and by Thomson for electrons a
s particles needed to be directed to favor the new theories. The simplest way of doing this was to show that the older theories would be returned to us in suitable limiting cases. General relativity tells us gravitation does behave just like a force, as l
o
ng as we deal only with very weak gravity; and quantum theory tells us we can neglect the wavelike properties of electrons as long as we stay away from circumstances in which interference effects arise. In the right conditions, the newer theories revert t
o the older so that evidence for the older could be inherited by the newer.

\insrsid15810011 \tab }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15810011 A simpler and more convenient example is the material theory of heat. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, heat was conceived of as a conserved fluid. T
he temperature measured the density of the fluid and the natural tendency of the fluid to flow from high to low density was manifested as a tendency to flow from high to low temperature. The theory flourished when Lavoisier (1790) included the matter of h
e
at as the element caloric in his treatise that founded modern chemistry; and Carnot (1824) laid the foundations of modern thermodynamics with an analysis of heat engines that still presumed the caloric theory. Around 1850, through the work of Joule, Claus
i
us, Thomson and others, this material theory of heat fell with the recognition that heat could be converted into other forms of energy. Heat came to be identified with a disorderly distribution of energy over the very many component subsystems of some bo
d
y; in the case of gases, the heat energy resided in the kinetic energy of the gas molecules, verifying a kinetic theory of heat. The older material theory could still be recovered as long as one considered processes in which there was no conversion betwee
n
heat energy and other forms of energy such as work. An example would be the conduction of heat along a metal bar. Exactly because heat is a form of energy and energy is conserved, the propagating heat will behave like a conserved fluid. In the newer theo

y, the temperature is measured by the average energy density. It is a matter of overwhelming probability that energy will pass from regions of higher temperature (higher average energy) to those of lower temperature (lower average energy) with the result
that the heat energy distribution moves towards the uniform. This once again replicates a basic result of the caloric theory: heat spontaneously moves from hotter to colder.

apacity." In returning the older theories, the relations revive a defunct ontology. More precisely, they do not show that heat is a fluid, or gravity is a force, or that electrons are purely a particle; rather they show that in the right domain the world
behaves just as if they were. The advantages of this generative capacity are great. It is not just that the newer theories could now inherit the evidential base of the old. It was also that the newer theories were conceptually quite difficult to work with
and reverting to the older theories often greatly eases our recovery of important results. Einstein's general relativity does assure as that planets orbit the sun almost exactly in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus. But a direct demonstration in
Einstein's theory is onerous. Since much of the curvature of spacetime plays no significant role in this result, the easiest way to recover it is just to recall that Einstein's theory reverts to Newton's in the weak gravity of the solar system and that th
e result is a familiar part of Newton's theory. In many cases it is just conceptually easier and quite adequate to imagine that gravity is a force or heat a fluid.

e some idea of what it is to conform to cause and effect, even if those ideas may be a little scattered. The world does not conform to those causal expectations in the sense that they form the basis of our mature sciences. However in appropriately restric
t
ed circumstances our science entails that nature will conform to our causal expectations. The restriction to those domains generates the causal properties in same way that a restriction to our solar system restored gravity as a force within general relati
v
ity; or ignoring conversion processes restored heat as a conserved fluid. The causes are not real in the sense of being elements of our fundamental scientific ontology; rather in these restricted domains the world just behaves as if appropriately identifi
ed causes were fundamental.
\par \tab So, are causes real? My best answer is that they are as real as caloric and gravitational forces. And how real are they? That question is the subject of an extensive literature in philosophy of science on the topic of reduction.
(For a survey, see Silberstein, 2002.) I will leave readers to make up their own minds, but I will map out some options, drawn from the reduction literature, and express an opinion. One could be a fictionalist and insist that causes, caloric and gravitat
i
onal forces are ultimately just inventions, since they are not present in the fundamental ontology. Or one could be a realist and insist upon the autonomy of the various levels of science. To withhold reality from an entity, one might say, because it does
not fall in the fundamental ontology of our most advanced science is to risk an infinite regress that leaves us with no decision at all about the reality of anything in our extant sciences, unless one is confident that our latest science can never be supe
r
ceded. My own view is an intermediate one: causes, caloric and gravitational forces have a derivative reality. They are not fictions in so far as they are not freely invented by us. Our deeper sciences must have quite particular properties so that these e
n
tities are generated in the reduction relation. Whatever reality the entities have subsist in those properties and these properties will persist in some form even if the deeper science is replaced by a yet deeper one. But then they cannot claim the same r
eality as the fundamental ontology. Heat is, after all, a form of energy and not a conserved fluid. Hence I call the compromise a derivative reality.

he one claimed for causation is that, in the former cases, by suitable restrictions we convert our newer theory to a well worked out but now defunct, older theory. There are other cases in which a reduction relation calls up powers that do not belong to a
well worked out, but now defunct theory. The simplest example pertains to vacua. We know that vacua have no active powers, yet we routinely attribute to them the ability to draw things in\emdash
to suck. The appearance of this active power arises in a special, bu
t common case: the vacuum is surrounded by a fluid such as air with some positive pressure. The power of the vacuum is really just that of the pressure of the surrounding fluid according to ordinary continuum mechanics. However it is very convenient to ta
lk of creating the vacuum and to explain resulting processes in terms of a supposed active power of the vacuum.
\par \tab Causal talk in science has the same status. In many familiar cases, our best sciences tell us that the world behaves as if it were governed by c
auses obeying some causal principle. This proves to be a very convenient way to grasp processes that might otherwise be opaque, just as attributing active powers to a vacuum can greatly simply explanatory stories; and no harm is done as long as we do not
take the active powers of the vacuum too seriously.

we find in each of a large of number of domains that we call causal. We need not expect that it is exactly the same thing in every domain; indeed the proliferation of distinct accounts of causation suggests that there might not be one clear notion present
. In that case, no single theory can work. The best we can do with one theory is to provide a compendium of properties without expecting everyone to endorse each of them.

The particular interpretation of these figures varies by context. In the causal modeling literature, for example, t
he blobs represent variables that enter into linear sets of equations; the arrows represent the immediate dependencies encoded within the equations. (Sprites }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\insrsid15810011 et al.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0
\insrsid15810011 , 2000) In other cases, the blobs might represent the presence or absence of some entity or
property and whether the relevant term is present at a blob is determined by some Boolean formula (generally specified separately) from the immediate antecedent blobs.

sometimes also as a cause in causal relations as depicted in Figure 2. Each must enter as an effect, else we would violate the maxim (equivalent to the principle of causality) that }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\insrsid15810011
every effect has a cause}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15810011 . We would have an uncaused state, entity or proper
ty. In terms of the blobs and arrows diagrams, this means that there can be no blobs that escape connection with arrows; and that a blobs and arrows diagram is incomplete if it has any blob that is not pointed to by an arrow, that is, one that is not an e
ffect. (See Figure 4.) The cause brings about the effect by necessity; this is expressed in the constancy of causation: }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\insrsid15810011 the same causes always bring about the same effects}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39

. The blobs indicate that at some level of description, causes can be localized. Most commonly they are localized in space and time, but they need not be. For example,
in medicine we might identify a particular drug as having some causal effect and portray it as a little blob in a diagram, while the drug is actually spatially distributed throughout the body. The action itself is also presumed local, so that both cause
and effect are localized in the same place. If the locality is in space and time, then this requirement prohibits action at a distance; causes here can only produce effects there, if their action is carried by a medium.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs16

. While many entities and properties may enter into the causal process, it is common to
identify just one as the dominant cause and the remainder as having a secondary role. This can be represented diagrammatically by "chunking," the grouping of blobs into bigger blobs or the suppression or absorption of intermediate blobs into the connecti
ng arrow. Chunking allows a complicated causal nexus of the form of Figure 3 to be reduced to the simple diagram of Figure 2 with a single dominant cause.

. In cases in which the end state exercises a controlling influence on the course of a process, the process is governed by a final cause. We are used to
explaining away apparent cases of final causation as really produced by efficient (initiating) causes. So the modern tendency is think of final causes as derivative and efficient causes as fundamental. Since I hold neither to be fundamental, there is no r
e
ason to deny final cause a place in this list. As we shall see in the next section, invoking the notion of a final cause can supply the same sorts of heuristic advantages as efficient causes. I do not know a simple way of representing final causes in a bl
ob and arrow diagram.
\par \tab While all these properties have been invoked often enough to warrant inclusion here, they are by no means universally accepted. For example, asymmetry might well not be accepted by functionalists about causation, that is, those like R
ussell and Mach who see causation as residing entirely in functional relations on variables. Time precedence would be denied by someone who thinks time travel or backward causation are physically possible\emdash
and a growing consensus holds that whether they are
possible is a contingent matter to be decided by our science. Locality must be renounced by someone who judges action at a distance theories or quantum theory to be causal. Someone like Mill who essentially equates causation with determinism may not want
to single out any particular element in the present determining state as dominant. The demand for a first cause would not be felt by someone who harbors no fear of infinite causal regresses.

associate terms within the restricted science with the central terms of the folk theory; we seek to identify causes and effects such that they are related by a suitable relation of production. Finally we may seek particular patterns among the causal rela
t
ions such as those listed in section above. The way we make the association; just what counts as a relation of production; and the patterns we may find will depend upon the particular content present. If we are interested in weather systems, for example,
we would not ask for dominant causes. Because of its chaotic character, the smallest causes in weather systems may have the largest of effects.

of causality arises specifically at time t=T when the system spontaneously accelerates. Before and after, the system is quite causal in so far as we can map the appropriate causal terms onto the system. To see how this works, let us assume for simplicity
that T=0, so that the system spontaneously accelerates at t=0 and consider the sequence of states at t=0.5, 0.6, \'85
., 1.0 in the causal period. Neglecting intermediate times for convenience, we can say that the state at each time is the effect of the state
at the earlier time and the force then acting. If we represent the state at time t by the position r(t) and velocity v(t) and the force at t by F(t), we can portray the causal relations in a blobs and arrows diagram. By chunking we can identify the first
cause:

\ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15810011 /2.) Might we locate the first
cause at t=0, the last instant at which the mass does not move? As we saw in Section 3, nothing in the state at t=0 is productive of the spontaneous acceleration. One might be tempted to insist nonetheless that there must be something at t=0 that functio
n
s as a cause. The result will be the supposition of a cause whose properties violate the maxim that the same cause always brings about the same effect. For the physical state of the system at t=0 is identical with the physical states at earlier times t=-1
, t=-2, \'85
, but the state at t=0 only is (by false supposition) causally effective, where the other identical states are not. The folk theory of causation can only be applied in hospitable domains; this difficulty shows that when, we added the instant t=0, t
he domain ceases to be hospitable.
\par \tab Analogous problems arise in the case of big bang cosmology. The universe exists for all cosmic times t>0 and its state at each time might be represented as the cause of the state at a later time. However there is no stat
e at t=0 (loosely, the moment of the big bang) and the demand that there be a first cause for the process must conjure up causes that lie outside the physics.

ercises a controlling influence on the course of the process. In thermal physics, processes spontaneously move towards a final state of highest entropy, which is, in microphysical terms, the state of highest probability. Dissipative physical systems are t

ose in which mechanical energy is not conserved; through friction, for example, mechanical energy is lost irreversibly to heat. Such systems can be controlled by their end states in a way that merits the appellation "final cause." Consider, for example, a

As long as the initial motion of the mass is not so great as to fling the mass out of the bowl, we know what its ultimate fate w
ill be. The mass may slide around inside the bowl in the most complicated trajectory. Throughout the process it will dissipate energy so that its maximum height in the bowl will lessen until the mass finally comes to rest at the lowest point in the bowl.
That ultimate state is the final cause of the process.
\par \tab One may want to object that it is somehow improper to assign the term "cause" to this ultimate state; for it exerts no power on the mass in the way, say, that the earth does through a gravitational for
ce. In my view the objection is misplaced. It elevates a gravitational force to the status of a true and fundamental cause, while there are no such things. A gravitational force is a cause in the same way that heat is a material fluid. The generative powe
rs of the reduction relation that confer the character of cause on it can be used equally to confer the character of final cause on the ultimate state of this dissipative process.

\insrsid15810011 \tab }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15810011 The illustrations above and those earlier in the paper are drawn large
ly from the physical sciences, for there it is possible for me to give the most precise account of the extent of viability of causal notions. I intend and hope that the account will be applicable in other sciences, although it is beyond this paper to put
m
y hope to the test. I expect that the character of the application may change. In the physical sciences, an important reason for choosing a restricted domain is to fence off processes that are acausal. A second reason to which I gave less attention is tha
t different domains manifest different sorts of causes. In this section, the first illustration manifests efficient causes; the second, final causes. I expect this latter case to be prevalent in chemistry and non-physical sciences\emdash
that the restriction to di
fferent domains will divide different types of causation, as opposed to fencing off acausal processes. So chemical potentials might appear as efficient causes in one domain of chemistry and, in another, equilibrium states might appear as final causes. Co
rrespondingly in biology, viruses and bacteria might appear as efficient causes of diseases, while adapted forms in evolutionary biology might appear as final causes.

\insrsid15810011 \tab }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15810011 The goal of this account of causation in science has been to reconcile two
apparently incompatible circumstances. On the one hand, causes play no fundamental role in our mature science. Those sciences are not manifestly about causation and they harbor no universally valid principle of causality. On the other, the actual practice
of science is thoroughly permeated with causal talk: science is often glossed as the search for causes; and poor science or superstition is condemned because of its supposed failure to conform to a vaguely specified principle of causality. I have argued
t
hat we can have causes in the world of science in same way as we can retain the caloric. There is no caloric in the world; heat is not a material substance. However in many circumstances heat behaves just as if it were a material fluid and it can be very
u
seful to think of heat this way. It is the same with cause and effect. At a fundamental level, there are no causes and effects in science and no overarching principle of causality. However in appropriately restricted domains our science tells us that the
w
orld behaves just as if it conformed to the sort of folk theory of causation outlined above. Finally I have suggested that we need not expect the exact same notion of cause to be invoked in each of these many domains. The proliferation of different accoun
t of the nature of causation suggests that there might be no single notion of causation, so that the best single account we can have is a loose folk theory, not all of whose elements will be accepted in every application.
