causalism - casualism

There something seems to be mixed up: causalism - casualism... Best, Moovie2 14:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the casualism content, which didn't match the actual topic of this article. SlackerMom (talk) 19:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For Causalism, there's ("have a leading idea of determinacy"), ("Causal theories of action hold that an event's being an action depends upon how it was caused"), "causalism-descriptivism", causalism ("seeing dream sequences in causal connections") (causalism as connedted with "naturalism, moralism, personalism, temporalism, voluntarism, humanism, positivism, literalism.") For Casualism, there's ("Folks is a casualism, as in the sentence `Single folks topped the list, with 70.8 percent having headaches.'"), ("the new casualism ("how we don't wear ties and how we live in running shoes")") (""Karim talks about what he calls the 'new casualism', the desire to feel free, open and relaxed, without boundaries or sharp edges"). In any event, I don't think either topic meets WP:GNG. -- Jreferee (talk) 14:28, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Casualism has multiple meanings. In philosophy it is "the doctrine that all things exist or are controlled by chance". It is used as a term to describe the use of casual labour as opposed to fulltime employees (usually by unionised opponents of the practice). Casualism is also the name of an art "concept" (sorry I don't know the proper class/collective term for the "isms" of art). Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:11, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
