Causality: causality is the relation between two (separate) entities, whereby a state change of the one entity causes the state of the other entity to change. Nowadays it is assumed that an energy transfer is crucial for talking about a causal link. D. Hume was the first to consistently deny the observability of cause and effect. (David Hume Eine Untersuchung über den menschlichen Verstand, Hamburg, 1993, p. 95). _____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Immanuel Kant on Causality - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto I 298 Causality/Kant/Danto: is not derived from experience - but the condition or form of experience - the idea of causality is not causality itself. >Ideas/Kant. --- Kant I 26 Causality/Kant: things themselves are not subject to the time condition, so not causality. - (Solution of the third cosmological antinomy: namely, the antinomy of causality of freedom (that belongs to the things themselves) and causality according to nature (in the phenomenal world)). KantVsHume: causality does not apply to things themselves. VsKant: he does not stick to it himself. Mind/Kant: the mind has its own causality: the "spontaneity of terms". >Spontaneity/Kant. --- I 32 Subjectivity arises not only from causality (of freedom) but from the spontaneity of the terms - therefore metaphysics begins in empirical science. >Subjectivity/Kant, >Metaphysics/Kant. --- Vaihinger I 280 Causality/Idea/God/Kant/Vaihinger: I only underlie the idea of such a (highest) being to see the phenomena as systematically linked to each other according to the analogy of a causal determination. --- Vollmer I 25 Causality/Kant: outside of causality we cannot experience. >Experience/Kant._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
