- **Event Name**: The People's Forum: "What is Causation"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: When we say “X caused Y,” what do we actually mean? 

We use causal language all the time: the storm caused the outage, coffee caused my jitters, one decision changed everything. But philosophers have long questioned whether causation is really as straightforward as these everyday explanations make it seem.

Do we ever actually see causes, or are we just observing events and drawing conclusions after the fact? What makes something a genuine cause rather than a coincidence? And how do we decide where one cause ends and another begins?

At this installment of The People’s Forum, we’ll explore how philosophers—from Aristotle to David Hume and beyond—have tried to make sense of causation using ordinary experiences and careful thought. We’ll examine different philosophical accounts of what it means for one thing to bring about another, and why these debates still matter for how we understand choice, explanation, and responsibility.

No philosophy background required—just curiosity, a drink in hand, and a willingness to question what you think you already know.
