Getting Causes from Powers - Mumford, Stephen (University of Nottingham) a Anjum, Rani Lill (Norwegian University of Life Sciences)

Causation is everywhere in the world: it features in every science and technology. But how much do we understand it? Mumford and Anjum develop a new theory of causation based on an ontology of real powers or dispositions. They provide the first detailed outline of a thoroughly dispositional approach, and explore its surprising features.
