Can you please comment on any relation between Cause (as in cause and effect) and Causation (logic of reasoning or decision making proposed by Sarasvathy) ... Thank you
Two concepts, but with different meaning, the first refers to a law, the second to a process
A cause is an event, that has an effect, which is also an event and may in turn be a cause of another event. Causation is the process by which a cause causes its effect. A chain of casually related events (i.e. a chain of events in a cause-effect relationship) can also be referred to as a causal process. If you want to bring logic into the story, that would be causal explanation, in which reasons are given for why one event caused another, typically by citing laws of nature or lawlike generalizations.
