From online source:
Transeunt and Immanent causes [317.2] Transeunt causation: when one event causes some other event. Vs. Immanent causation: when an AGENT causes an event or state of affairs. Aristotle:
"Thus a staff moves a stone [transeunt], and is moved by a hand [transeunt], which is moved by a man [immanent]."
Chisholm's addition to Aristotle: maybe the immanent cause wasn't at the macro level of the man moving the staff, But some event, and presumably one of those that took place within the brain, was caused by the agent and not by any other events.
