Reviews

Shan's book is a timely and well-crafted collection of essays by leading experts in the field that makes a valuable contribution to the current literature. It will undoubtedly be of interest both to experts in specific theories of causation and to readers wishing to gain a more general overview of recent developments in the debate. * Vera Hoffmann-Kolss, The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science *
