    Key Terms

    Things that actually make something happen, rather than just appearing to or being passive observers of events.
    Navya-Nyāya(as a major tradition in Indian philosophy)

    counterfactual frameworks(in modern philosophy of causation)
    Ways of analyzing causation by asking 'what if?' questions—like 'if that thing hadn't happened, would the result have been different?'
    criterion(as used in philosophy to describe a test for whether an idea works)
    A standard or rule used to decide whether something counts as true or valid.
