Since the modern era, Western philosophers have tried to limit causality to relationships between physical actions. Hume pointed out that causation itself cannot be directly observed. This is where Newman’s process theory comes in, which explains causation through the spatiotemporal trajectory of an object. This theory distinguishes between causal and non-causal processes, but it has...

In his view, the true cause is human will, and the physical events are merely effects.   Suppose a red ball hits a stationary white ball, causing the white ball to move. Hume laid out three requirements for a causal relationship between the red ball hitting the white ball and the...
