• Resumen

  • The aim of the thesis is to reexamine some of the problems that causation raises in tort law using the analytical tools developed during the last forty years by the philosophy of causation. To achieve this purpose, I schematically present the main philosophical theories of causation and the different positions on the relations between levels of causation. Following this theoretical framework, the thesis mainly focuses in three topics of tort law: the discussion about causal tests, causation by omission and the distinction between “factual causation” and “legal causation”. Each topic is analyzed with the purpose to clarify the conceptual, epistemic or metaphysic dimensions of the different problems that rise around them
