Editorial Reviews
Review
'This book ... contains a detailed analysis of the notion of causality ... The author's favourite solution of the conflict between quantum mechanics and Einstein's 'physical reality' in terms of 'backward causation' is fully discussed.' ASLIB Book Guide

Book Description
Physical Causation discusses in a systematic way an original, positive account of causation: the conserved quantities account of causal processes that Phil Dowe has been developing over the past ten years. Dowe offers a clear and original account of causation based firmly in contemporary science. This is an important, original book that will be widely discussed among philosophers and students working in contemporary metaphysics and philosophy of science, and also scientists with an interest in foundational issues.
