Full Idea
I believe our understanding of causation would benefit from a shift of attention from causal sequences and laws, to instances of causation: 'causings'.
Gist of Idea
We should focus on actual causings, rather than on laws and causal sequences

A Reaction
His aim is to get away from generalities, and focus on the actual operation of powers which is involved. He likes the case of two playing cards propped against one another. I'm on his side. Laws come last in the story, and should not come first.
