WHAT DOES CAUSALITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

causality

Causality

Causality is the relation between an event and a second event, where the second event is understood as a consequence of the first. In common usage, causality is also the relation between a set of factors and a phenomenon. Anything that affects an effect is a factor of that effect. A direct factor is a factor that affects an effect directly, that is, without any intervening factors. The connection between a cause and an effect in this way can also be referred to as a causal nexus. Though the causes and effects are typically related to changes or events, candidates include objects, processes, properties, variables, facts, and states of affairs; characterizing the causal relation can be the subject of much debate. The philosophical treatment on the subject of causality extends over millennia. In the Western philosophical tradition, discussion stretches back at least to Aristotle, and the topic remains a staple in contemporary philosophy.

Definition of causality in the English dictionary

The first definition of causality in the dictionary is the relationship of cause and effect. Other definition of causality is the principle that nothing can happen without being caused. Causality is also causal agency or quality.
