More precisely, it is argued that instances of mental properties can be causally efficacious, and that there is no ...

Andreas Hüttemann disagrees with Hill and Ott regarding the relevance of the early modern critiques of causal powers for contemporary practitioners. He argues that the contemporary acceptance of powers and dispositions is insulated against the early modern criticism because the emergence of powers nowadays is not a ‘revival of’ or ‘return to’ the ...

Causality and Causal Powers in Blasius of Parma’s Physics
La philosophie du Moyen Âge tardif reformule tous les principaux concepts de la philosophie naturelle aristotélicienne, parmi lesquels le concept de cause est central. Mais il ne s'agit pas d'une évolution linéaire qui conduirait au concept de causalité tel qu'il est utilisé dans la philosophie moderne, bien que certains textes médiévaux anticipent uneopenaire +2 more sources
Dispositions and causal powers
2007Dispositions are everywhere.
