Reviews

...this collection contains significant, thought-provoking material, especially from the viewpoint of researchers approaching the topic of metaphysics in the philosophy of science with supporting background knowledge, and perhaps some pre-existing personal opinions and beliefs on the matter. It is also certainly of relevance for people interested in the specific topics that are discussed, such as the methodology of Newton's Principia, the status of biological concepts, or interventionist approaches to causation. * Matteo Morganti, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
