by James (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, California Institute of Technolog Woodward
Part of the Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science series
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
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.
