causal powers

Causal powers refer to the inherent abilities or capacities that things or entities have to bring about effects or changes. For example, a match has the power to produce fire when struck, and a person’s knowledge can enable them to solve problems. These powers are qualities or features of things that make specific outcomes possible. In essence, causal powers explain why certain causes lead to certain effects, emphasizing that objects or beings have the potential or capacity to produce particular results under the right conditions.
