摘要:: 针对人身侵权领域出现的因果关系非决定倾向，分析了其哲学、科学基础。认为受量子力学影响，哲学上的因果关系经历了从决定论到非决定论的嬗变，法学上的因果关系亦因应了这种变化，在人身侵权领域的医疗侵权案件中出现了机会丧失理论，在环境侵权案件中出现了疫学因果关系理论。但因果关系非决定论并非在所有案件中一体适用，因果关系决定论仍然是目前法学研究和法律实践中的主流。

Abstract:: The paper analyzes the philosophical and social basis of the non-determinism on identifying causation in personal tort. Under the impact on quantum mechanics, the causation in philosophy has changed from determinism to the non-determinism, and so does the causation in the science of law, which shows in the loss of a chance doctrine of medical tort in the field of personal tort and the doctrine of epidemiology causality in environmental tort. However the non-determinism on identifying the causation is not suitable for all the cases, while determinism is still the mainstream in current jurisprudential research and law practice.
