The Routledge Handbook of Causality and Causal Methods (Routledge Handbooks in Philosophy)

The Routledge Handbook of Causality and Causal Methods adopts a pluralistic, interdisciplinary approach to causality.It formulates distinct questions and problems of causality as they arise across scientific and policy fields.Exploring, in a comparative way, how these questions and problems are addressed in different areas, the Handbook fosters dialogue and exchange.It emphasizes the role of the researchers and the normative considerations that arise in the development of methodological and empirical approaches.The Handbook includes authors from all over the world and with many different disciplinary backgrounds, and its 50 chapters appear in print here for the first time.The chapters are organized into the following seven parts:Causal Pluralism from Theory to PracticeCausal Theory and the Role of ResearchersFeatures of Causal SystemsCausal Methods, Experimentation and ObservationMeasurement and DataCausality, Knowledge, and ActionCausal Theory across Disciplinary BordersEssential read
