Description: An introduction to prominent theories and examples in the philosophy of causation.
Review Quotes: "A terrific introduction to the topic of causation in philosophy and cognate fields. His writing is clear and engaging without sacrificing rigor or conceptual sophistication. In this short book he surveys all of the major approaches to the topic. But more importantly, he shows the reader what it is like to explore the nuances of a complex subject with the benefit of a keen philosophical mind."
Chris Hitchcock, California Institute of Technology
"An engaging and long-overdue introduction to causation: what philosophers have said about it, why they've had trouble agreeing with each other, and why it matters, for all of us."
Carolina Sartorio, University of Arizona
