More about the book
Richard Johns presents a causal theory of chance, suggesting that random events are not truly random but are fully caused, differing only in their degree of determination by these causes. He explores the relationship between physical chance and causation, proposing that the likelihood of an event occurring is directly linked to how much it is influenced by its underlying causes. This theory challenges conventional views on randomness and offers a new perspective on understanding chance in the context of causality.
