| Description: |
Presents an account of causation explanation that applies to causal and explanatory claims in different areas of science and everyday life. This book weaves together examples, counterexamples, criticisms, objections, and replies into a defence of the core of this theory, that we can analyse causation by appeal to the notion of manipulation. |
| Synopsis: |
Woodward's long awaited book is an attempt to construct a comprehensive account of causation explanation that applies to a wide variety of causal and explanatory claims in different areas of science and everyday life. The book engages some of the relevant literature from other disciplines, as Woodward weaves together examples, counterexamples, criticisms, defenses, objections, and replies into a convincing defense of the core of his theory, which is that we can analyze causation by appeal to the notion of manipulation. |
