. . . . Gerhard Klamp, who follows on from Schopenhauer, maintains that the strict distinction between natural force and cause is a precondition for natural science. He explains for his own part here how Schopenhauer could have arrived at a possible distinction between the two;

“Natural forces, however, are also not causes, which the proponents of today’s physics still do not appear to know or have grasped, since they continue, without further thought, to speak of force as causes of movements, as if Schopenhauer’s theory had never existed. To be sure, there is an especially close relationship between force and causality, but only insofar and to the extent that force is what first gives a cause it persisting efficacy. Yet at the same time force is, therefore, not simply cause itself. Causes are just as effects that equate to them, never something other than states of change and moments of continuation within a flowing occurrence of change, the flow of the effectuality of a causality strictly bound to time, which as such possesses steadfast necessity. “ ~ Page 152
