Renowned for his scholarly contributions to the philosophy of science, this volume brings together twenty-six of Salmon's essays on subjects related to causality and explanation, written over the period 1971-1995. Six of the essays have never been published before and many others have only appeared in obscure venues. It includes a section of introductory pieces, as well as more advanced and technical works.
