The study of causation goes back to Aristotle, but resurged with David Hume and Immanuel Kant, and is now one of the most important topics in metaphysics. Most of the recent work done in this area has attempted to place causation in a deterministic, scientific, worldview. But what about the unpredictable and chancey world we actually live in: can one theory of causation cover all instances of cause and effect? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eCause and Chance: Causation in an Indeterministic World \u003c\/em\u003eis a collection of specially written papers by world-class metaphysicians.
