Recenzii
Douglas Ehring has discovered a new box in the matrix of possible positions about causation and argued for it with admirable clarity and precision ... it's a stringent, honest, and valuable contribution.
Ehring's account of virtually everything that he discusses is lucid and penetration. He writes very clearly, so that one is seldom in doubt about exactly what he is claiming, or why, or where his more local claims and arguments fit into his larger argument scheme. This is a great blessing since his overall argument is extremely complicated. Because Ehring is so clear and considers the views of other major theorists as well as presenting his own views, his book would make an excellent text for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in metaphysics.
Douglas Ehring's intelligent and provocative account of causation connects cause and effect in the strongest way ... Ehring does an impressive job of articulating and defending his version of the identity theory, good enough to resuscitate it as a live philosophical option.
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, to graduate students and advanced undergraduates in metaphysics, philosophy of psychology, philosophy of natural and social science and in the social sciences themselves.
A high-quality philosophical work on a topic of central importance.
