Reviews
"Ehring's new book is the single most significant advance in the philosophical debate about the nature of causality in the last decade or more. It not only faces the most serious problems--like causal preemption and the direction of causation--it moves towards creative and persuasive solutions to them. It will have an appeal well beyond the narrow specialist."--Alexander Rosenberg, University of Georgia "A high-quality philosophical work on a topic of central importance."--David Papineau, Kings College, London, "A high-quality philosophical work on a topic of centralimportance."--David Papineau, Kings College, London, "Ehring's new book is the single most significant advance in the philosophical debate about the nature of causality in the last decade or more.

What are the mechanisms operating in the world to bind its parts together? Ehring's answers to these questions are clear, original, and supported bysophisticated arguments."--The Philosophical Review"Ehring's new book is the single most significant advance in the philosophical debate about the nature of causality in the last decade or more.
