SPRINGERBRIEFS IN PHILOSOPHY CAUSAL OVERDETER...

This work explains how different theories of causation confront causal overdetermination.
Chapters clarify the problem of overdetermination and explore its fundamental aspects. It is
argued that a theory of causation can account for our intuitions in overdetermination cases
only by accepting that the adequacy of our claims about causation depends on the context in
which they are evaluated.The author proposes arguments for causal contextualism and provides
insight which is valuable for resolution of the problem. These chapters enable readers to
quickly absorb different perspectives on overdetermination and important theories of causation
therefore it is a work that will have a broad appeal.
