| Abstract | The concept of cause is one of the most controversial that employs philosophy of nature. Nor is it his exclusive competence: both natural science and metaphysics use it frequently, and it is also a vord commonly used in natural language. The applications are therefore very diverse, and the wealth of connotations that it carries, inexhaustible. There are many difficulties that arise when subjected to philosophical analysis, to the point that lovers of precision and univocity often despair of it. The thesis of the paper is that, although it is not easy to handle, we would not know how to do without it. Its treatment requires the application of an epistemology of risk, since those of rigor are completely inadequate. To approach it, a multifocal approach proposed at four levels is proposed: phenomenal, epistemological, linguistic and ontological. The most compromised point derives from the invisibility of the causal relation as such, and from the need to separate the idea of causality from those of ontological need and determinism. |
