Whats is Needed

So I read some of Chapter 15 of Critical Thinking by Richard L. Epstein and from what I read, I thought part 8 was very important.

Part 8 was about the criteria for cause and effect. They have a table about what was the necessary criteria for cause and effect. These included:

- The cause is true
- The effect is true
- The cause precedes the effect
- Impossible for cause to be true and effect to be false
- The Cause makes a difference
- There isn't a common cause

Without knowing the criteria, then there may be a case where the issua of cause and effect wouldn't exist.

For example, a car hits my car that is parked. He goes to the police and insurance company and blames me for the accident. The thing with this that it doesn't meet all the necessary criteria for cause and effect. What is missing is that the cause is false.

Someone at school had an iPad today and I asked to try it out. This was actually really awesome. Not gonna lie, I think I want one.
