CONTACT:Dr Clive Bowsher
DESCRIPTION:This talk will give an introduction to a range of mechanistic 
 theories of causality and some of the problems they face. The argument is 
 made that\, while there is a decisive case against a purely mechanistic an
 alysis\, a viable theory of causality must incorporate mechanisms as an in
 gredient. One way of providing an analysis of causality is described which
  reaps the rewards of the mechanistic approach without succumbing to its p
 itfalls.
