CONTACT:Christopher Clarke
DESCRIPTION:This talk will argue that causation is not constituted by fund
 amental physical pushes\, but is rather a macroscopic phenomenon akin to t
 he increase of entropy. As well as defending this view by reference to rec
 ent probabilistic approaches to causation\, the talk will explore some of 
 its implications for physicalist reductionism in the philosophy of mind an
 d elsewhere.
