Causation and Laws of Nature is a collection of articles which
represents current research on the metaphysics of causation and
laws of nature, mostly by authors working in or active in the
Australasian region. The book provides an overview of current work
on the theory of causation, including counterfactual, singularist,
nomological and causal process approaches. It also covers work on
the nature of laws of nature, with special emphasis on the
scientific essentialist theory that laws of nature are, at base,
the fundamental dispositions or capacities of natural kinds of
things. Because the book represents a good cross-section of authors
currently working on these themes in the Australasian region, it
conveys something of the interest and excitement of an active
philosophical debate between advocates of several different
research programmes in the area.
