Om Causality and Causal Explanation in Aristotle
We spend a lot of time looking for explanations and arguing about them, especially causal explanations, of phenomena large and small. But what makes for good causal explanations, and how do we tell them apart from bad ones? This book aims to think through these philosophical issues by re-examining Aristotle's theory of causal explanation, which is one of the oldest and most influential. Nathanael Stein drops many common assumptions and brings together ideas that are
normally discussed in isolation, with the aim of answering the philosophical questions that have perplexed Aristotle's readers.
