VI 128f
Causality/Davidson/Rorty: (implicitly found in Davidson's writings): a causal effect occurs only at the level of microstructure, so just where strict laws apply and no "ceteris paribus molecules or space-time points clauses" interfere.
>Causality/Davidson, >Microstructure, >Causal laws.
VI 129f
Causality/Rorty: you should always be able to recognize exactly the same causal relations between these same, but arbitrarily described things: e.g. between dinosaurs and eggs, you should realize the same causal relations like between the respective molecules or space-time points. (Like Davidson). This has nothing to do with "intrinsical" or "thing in itself".
>Causal relation, >Description levels, >Intrinsicness.
