Summary

This book provides clear, concise answers to the following questions:

  • What is it for one event to cause another?
  • Under what conditions are causal claims warranted?
  • What are the different kinds of causation?
  • Does knowledge of physical law presuppose knowledge of instances of causation, or is it the other way around?
  • What is the relationship between counterfactual knowledge and causal knowledge?
  • Is it true, as it is so often alleged to be, that discovery and justification are categorically distinct?
  • What are the merits, if any, of Hume's analysis of causation?
  • What is the solution to the Raven Paradox?
  • What is the difference between statistical and explanatory probability?
  • What is probabilistic causation and why must its existence be granted?
