Items related to Causation (Oxford Readings in Philosophy)
The aim of this series is to bring together important recent writings in major areas of philosophical inquiry, selected from a wide variety of sources, mostly periodicals, which may not be conveniently available to the university student or the general reader. The editors of each volume contribute an introductory essay on the items chosen and on the questions with which they deal. This book should be of interest to students (undergraduate and graduate) and scholars who wish to have the key texts on the philosophy of causation gathered in a single volume.

Review:
`Since the 1960's, the Oxford Readings in Philosophy have provided an essential service to all teachers of the subject. ... in a colourful and attractive new format, but the essential aim of the series remains unchanged: to introduce students, as gently as is realistically possible, to the best work in a given area. ... the volume on time is very wide rangingCogito :Winter 1993
`Excellent selection from the literature'W.H. Newton-Smith, Balliol College, University of Oxford
`First-rate anthology'Mr R.B. Taylor, University of Kent
`Very useful collection of papers.'Dr E.J. Lowe, Durham University
`An excellent collection containing classic papers on causation.'Dr C. Macdonald, University of Manchester
'This anthology will be quite valuable to professional philosophers, graduate students and advanced undergraduates. It could easily be used as a source of material for a seminar on causation. The book contains an extensive bibliography and this alone makes it a valuable resource to anyone doing research in this or a related field.'Fred Foulks, University of British Columbia, Canadian Philosophical Reviews, Vol. XIV, No. 1, Feb 1994
