Conclusions and Final Remarks. . 330 $aThis work explains how different theories of causation confront causal overdetermination. Chapters clarify the problem of overdetermination and explore its fundamental aspects. It is argued that a theory of causation can account for our intuitions in overdetermination cases only by accepting that the adequacy of our claims about causation depends on the context in which they are evaluated.The author proposes arguments for causal contextualism and provides insight which is valuable for resolution of the problem. These chapters enable readers to quickly absorb different perspectives on overdetermination and important theories of causation, therefore it is a work that will have a broad appeal. . 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Philosophy,$x2211-4548 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPhilosophy, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E00003 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 14$aPhilosophy, general. 676 $a122 700 $aCéspedes$b Esteban$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064083 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255358303321 996 $aCausal Overdetermination and Contextualism$92536458 997 $aUNINA
