Is the appropriate form of human action explanation causal or
rather teleological? While this is a central question in analytic
philosophy of action, it also has implications for questions about
the differences between methods of explanation in the sciences on
the one hand and in the humanities and the social sciences on the
other. Additionally, this question bears on the problem of the
appropriate form of explanations of past human actions, and
therefore it is prominently discussed by analytic philosophers of
historiography. This volume brings together causalists and
anti-causalists to address enduring philosophical questions at the
heart of this debate, as well as their implications for the
practice of historiography. Part I considers the quarrel between
causalism and anti-causalism in recent developments in the
philosophy of action. Part II presents papers by causalists and
anti-causalists that are more narrowly focused on the philosophy of
historiography.
