Abstract

Introduction: why causation? 1. The problem, or: what's the matter with causation? 2. Regularity, or: causation without connection? 3. Time and space, or: do causes occur before their effects? 4. Necessity, or: do causes guarantee their effects? 5. Counterfactual dependence, or: do causes make a difference? 6. Physicalism, or: is it all transference? 7. Pluralism, or: is causation many different things? 8. Primitivism, or: is causation the most basic thing? 9. Dispositionalism, or: what tends to be? 10. Finding causes, or: where are they?
