Where is Causality?
نویسنده
چکیده
It is still not known how to define causality, although its importance has much been stressed in psychology, including text comprehension. The example of gravitation is presented, showing that causality has a surprisingly variable definition. The distinction between epistemological, ontological, and psychological questionings is proposed, in order to clarify earlier theoretical contributions about causality. Then the way causality was considered by works in text comprehension is briefly presented. The evolution of the field brings forth the need to define clearly causality. Recent works in the psychology of text comprehension, focusing on perception, have common grounds of study with philosophical ontology.

متن کاملInvestigating the Relationship between Money Growth and Inflation in Turkey: A Nonlinear Causality Approach
Theories on the relationship between money and inflation had largely been shaped around the positive relationship and money causality for inflation before the Post-Keynesians.

However, practically there is ...
