  A study of the debate that began as modern science separated itself from natural philosophy in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The book explores the two dominant approaches to causation, as a metaphysical problem and as a scientific problem. Classical discussions of causation are also combined with recent thinking on the topic.
