Reviews

An important and novel scholarly contribution. Against those who would relegate causality to 'folk science, ' Ben-Menahem convincingly argues that causal notions and their associated constraints permeate science, moreover that this is true both in fundamental sciences such as physics as well as in the higher-level sciences. --Michael Cuffaro, Rotman Institute of Philosophy, University of Western Ontario Causation in Science puts forward a new way of thinking about causality and is a shining example of intelligent and sophisticated philosophical analysis. I highly recommend this book. --Margaret Morrison, author of Reconstructing Reality: Models, Mathematics, and Simulations
