Causal understanding : empirical and theoretical foundations for a new approach
This is the homepage of an AHRC-funded project on 'Causal Understanding: Empirical and Theoretical Foundations for a New Approach'. It is a 4-year project which spanned from 2004 to 2008 and was hosted by the Philosophy Department at the University of Warwick. The initiative had sought to bring together philosophers and psychologists in order to help devise a sound empirical and theoretical framework that would advance research on the nature of causal understanding. This website contains the project statement; a bibliography with a number of links to articles that are available online; and details of the seminars and workshops they organise. The project is directed by Christoph Hoerl and Johannes Roessler of the University of Warwick, and Teresa McCormack of the Queens University of Belfast. A search engine is provided. Intute.ac.uk
