Logic of Causality is Book 2 of the Think Better Collection, a series by Deivede Eder Ferreira and ABRAFP International Press dedicated to clear thinking, logic, philosophy, critical reasoning, artificial intelligence, and the formation of human judgment.
In an age of instant answers, AI-powered search, information overload, and rapid opinions, one of the most important intellectual skills is the ability to understand causes. People often confuse coincidence with causation, correlation with proof, and visible effects with deep origins. This book helps readers slow down, think with precision, and ask a better question: what made this possible?
Every visible thing carries an invisible history. A wound carries the history of a bodily process. A tree carries soil, roots, weather, and time. A thought carries language, memory, and interpretation. A society carries decisions, conflicts, institutions, and consequences. Even artificial intelligence carries the hidden history of data, patterns, design choices, and human assumptions.
In Logic of Causality, Deivede Ferreira explores one of the central dimensions of human thought: causal reasoning. To understand reality, we must learn to see not only what appears, but what came before it, what conditions shaped it, and what consequences may follow.
This book helps readers understand:
The difference between cause, effect, condition, trigger, and consequence
Why simple explanations are often seductive but incomplete
How to distinguish coincidence, correlation, and causation
How false causes create poor decisions and shallow conclusions
Why symptoms, feelings, words, institutions, and technologies carry hidden histories
How science, philosophy, faith, psychology, psychoanalysis, and artificial intelligence approach the question of causality
Why AI can detect patterns without always understanding causes
Written in an elegant and accessible style, this second volume of the Think Better Collection connects philosophy, logic, science, faith, psychoanalysis, technology, and everyday life. It is for students, educators, professionals, leaders, writers, researchers, spiritual seekers, and curious minds who want to develop stronger judgment in a complex world.
Published by ABRAFP International Press, the international editorial imprint of ABRAFP - Brazilian Association of Philosophy and Psychoanalysis - this work continues a broader intellectual project: helping readers think better, interpret more deeply, and live with greater clarity, responsibility, and freedom.
Before every conclusion, Logic of Causality invites the reader to ask:
What came before?
