Causality and Determinism (First Edition)
New York and London: Columbia University Press, 1974. First Edition. Hardcover. In this book, Georg Henrik von Wright argues for an "actionist" or "manipulability" theory of causation, asserting that our understanding of causality is linked to human action and intervention. The book distinguishes between causal explanation in natural sciences and the "understanding" required for human actions in social sciences.
