    About this audiobook

    These essays concern the different kinds of causation and their respective explanatory functions. Each of the following topics is discussed, in a clear and precise manner:



    *The relationship between causation and prediction

    *The relationship between causation and explanation

    *The relationship between prediction and explanation

    *The nature of counterfactual truth

    *The relationship between counterfactual conditionals and the corresponding past-tense indicatives

    *The relationship between counterfactual conditionals and the corresponding future-tense indicatives

    *Program causality and its explanatory virtues

    *The different kinds of causes involved in the development of mental illness.

    *Singular causation

    *The nature of causal laws



    These topics are analyzed clearly, incisively and originally, by the world authority on the topic of causation. This book is a fascinating adventure, to be cherished and listened to over and over.
