摘要:Dowe’s theory of causation (1992) of conserved quantities contained the foundations on
which he tries to account for causation. Recently in (2002), Dowe has presented the theory

that cannot be resolved by the detailed theory either, and we shall show how an entire
series of counterexamples can be obtained. We shall analyse what type of entities, processes
or interaction are candidates for playing the role of cause and effect, demonstrating how
the line of counterexamples can be extended to other types of cases that were recently
