Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 8vo (21.5 cm), XX, 143 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly rubbed and frayed at extremities). First edition of the Woodbridge Lectures delivered at Columbia University in October and November 1972-- the tenth in the series--and grew directly out of the chapter on causation in his earlier Explanation and Understanding, drafted first at the Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio in 1971 and first publicly presented as Häggerström Lectures at Uppsala in 1972. Von Wright restricts the treatment deliberately to causality as a category of the philosophy of nature only, setting aside the parallel questions about human action that he had originally planned to include. The book's four parts move with exceptional analytical precision through: the logic of conditions and the extensionalist versus intensionalist positions on causal conditionship (Part I); the ontological background of a logico-atomistic world-model built from states of affairs and temporally related occasions, including the logics of "tomorrow" and "yesterday," modal systems, determinism, and the notion of lost possibilities (Part II); the asymmetry of causal relations, manipulative causation, the distinction between nomic and accidental regularities, and the test condition for lawlike regularities including the famous Mill problem of why night is not a cause of day (Part III); and finally Universal Determinism in its various formulations--from the Laplacean demon to the problem of reconciling determinism with free action--concluding that the truth of Universal Determinism must remain an open question and that the concept of cause presupposes that of action (Part IV).
