When Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address in 1863, he had broader aims than simply rallying a war-weary nation. Lincoln realized that the Civil War had taken on a wider significance – that all of Europe and Latin America was watching to see whether the United States, a beleaguered model of democracy, would indeed "perish from the earth."

A system is perfectly designed to guarantee the same outcomes, regardless if they’re good or bad. But in situations where the same problems recur, it’s often due to the system failing to prevent problems or protect itself and its customers from defects or poor service.

From Cause to Causation A Peircean Perspective


Free Download From Cause to Causation: A Peircean Perspective By Menno Hulswit (auth.)
2002 | 258 Pages | ISBN: 1402009771 | PDF | 6 MB
From Cause to Causation presents both a critical analysis of C.S. Peirce’s conception of causation, and a novel approach to causation, based upon the semeiotic of Peirce. The book begins with a review of the history of causation, and with a critical discussion of contemporary theories of the concept of `cause’. The author uncovers a number of inadequacies in the received views of causation, and discusses their historical roots. He makes a distinction between "causality", which is the relation between cause and effect, and causation, which is the production of a certain effect. He argues that, by focusing on causality, the contemporary theories fatally neglect the more fundamental problem of causation. The author successively discusses Peirce’s theories of final causation, natural classes, semeiotic, and semeiotic causation. Finally, he uses Peirce’s semeiotic to develop a new approach to causation, which relates causation to our experience of signs.

It’s thirty years from now. We’re making progress, mitigating climate change, slowly but surely. But what about all the angry old people who can’t let go?
For young Americans a generation from now, climate change isn’t controversial. It’s just an overwhelming fact of life. And so are the great efforts to contain and mitigate it. Entire cities are being moved inland from the rising seas. Vast clean-energy projects are springing up everywhere. Disaster relief, the mitigation of floods and superstorms, has become a skill for which tens of millions of people are trained every year. The effort is global. It employs everyone who wants to work. Even when national politics oscillates back to right-wing leaders, the momentum is too great; these vast programs cannot be stopped in their tracks.
