The book draws on the Free Energy Principle to reinforce the agency theory of causality and extend it to an account of explanation as well. This principle not only provides a theoretical account of how self-organising systems engage with the \u003ci\u003ecausal\u003c\/i\u003e structure of the environment, but it also offers a viable notion of agency and is compatible with the projectivist aspects of the agency theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eScientific Explanation, Causality, and Agency\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to researchers and advanced students working in philosophy of science, philosophy of cognitive science, epistemology, computational neuroscience, and theoretical biology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56191615762776,"sku":"9781032732138","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032732138.jpg?v=1778759170","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/scientific-explanation-causality-and-agency","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
