Casualism (philosophy)
ID: casualism-philosophy
Casualism, in philosophy, refers to a perspective that emphasizes the role of causation in understanding phenomena, particularly in the realms of metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. While the term may not always be uniformly defined, it generally revolves around the idea that events, actions, and states of affairs can be understood primarily in terms of their causal relationships. In metaphysics, casualism might focus on how causation constructs reality and how entities or phenomena are interconnected through causal chains.
