Description

Woodward's comprehensive account of causation and explanation applies to causal and explanatory claims across diverse areas of science and everyday life. This Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science volume constructs a unified theory grounded in the notion of manipulation, engaging relevant literature from multiple disciplines. Through carefully woven examples, counterexamples, criticisms, defences, objections and replies, Woodward builds a convincing defence of his core thesis: that we can meaningfully analyse causation by appeal to manipulability. The book addresses fundamental questions about how causal reasoning works in physics, biology, social sciences and common experience, offering philosophers, scientists and students a rigorous yet accessible framework for understanding causal relationships and scientific explanation.

Key Features
