These essays concern the different kinds of causation and their respective explanatory functions. Each of the following topics is discussed, in a clear and precise manner:

  • The relationship between causation and prediction
  • The relationship between causation and explanation
  • The relationship between prediction and explanation
  • The nature of counterfactual truth
  • The relationship between counterfactual conditionals and the corresponding past-tense indicatives
  • The relationship between counterfactual conditionals and the corresponding future-tense indicatives
  • Program causality and its explanatory virtues
  • The different kinds of causes involved in the development of mental illness.
  • Singular causation
  • The nature of causal laws

These topics are analyzed clearly, incisively, and originally, by the world authority on the topic of causation. This book is a fascinating adventure, to be cherished and listened to over and over.
