•
What is the nature of causation?
•
How is causation linked with explanation?
•
Can there be an adequate theory of explanation?
•
Do laws
ornature
involve more than cosmic regularity?
In this fresh and original introduction Stathis Psillos analyses and
evaluates classic and contemporary views about the nature of causation,
explanation, and the laws of nature. The book is divided into three
corresponding sections: causation, laws of nature, and explanation. Psillos
begins the causation section with an engaging discussion of Hume s
views on causation and moves on to examine theories of singular
causation, and counterfactual and mechanistic approaches. In the section
on laws
ornature
Psillos considers both the regularity view of laws and
laws as relations among
universais,
as well as recent alternative
approaches to laws. In the final section on explanation he examines in
detail the issues arising from deductive-nomological explanation and
statistical explanation before considering the explanation of laws and the
metaphysics of explanation. Accessible to students of all levels, the book
provides an excellent introduction to one of the most enduring
problems of philosophy.
Stathis Psillos is Lecturer in Philosophy in the Department of
Philosophy and History of Science at the University of Athens.
