Is There a Connection Between Function and Causation?
Is there optimism that these kinds of causality approaches have any promise to connect those two things that have been forever distinct in such a conundrum? Yes, so, at least the way that i think about it, yes. So one of the interesting puzzles we get into with causation is downward causation. This shows up in many sciences, is really interesting. You may think subjective experience of something at a higher level, and maybe stuff in the brain is at a lower level. All of a sudden it doesn't look puzzling any more.
