Abstract

Complexity should be at the heart of any viable theory of causation. Without it, we cannot give a sensible account of the importance of context. With many causal factors in play, jointly producing an effect, we come to understand the context-sensitive nature of causation. Cases of hypersensitivity, unintended consequences and antipathetic reactions will be outlined together with some considerations for our interventions.
