How has modern philosophy dealt with causation? How has it integrated what we have learned about quantum mechanics?

Now, I do agree that aesthetics, ethics, etc, are good things to study and are aspects of philosophy. I just don't see them as being knowledge as opposed to refined opinion. But that is also philosophy. Smile

And just where do think modern physics got its theory of causation?
