In this work, I analyze our concept of cause in the face of criticism of Bertrand Russell in his article �On the Notion of Cause�. For Russell, there is an estrangement between the notion of cause and mature science of physics. The word cause (and its correlates) would not be used in physics, thus eliminating the main justification of philosophy for his job�the foundation of science. Thus, the various causal notions and the principle of causality should be abandoned by philosophers as something outdated. The aim of this study is to assess the extent to which our notion of cause, with its asymmetric nature, can be explained by physics and investigate the question of the existence of causes in our world.
