Roman Ingarden’s conception of causality is original and different from the conceptions of other philosophers in many respects.1 According to Roman Ingarden:

1.
C and E are diverse;
-
2.
C actually conditions E, but E does not condition C in the same way;
-
3.
With respect to their form, both C and E are events or processes (or eventually phases of processes);
-
4.
The occurrence of E is simultaneous with that of C&
-
5.
Both C and E are real (actual)2
