Beschreibung:
The current philosophical consensus is that science searches for mechanisms. This book re-evaluates central features of this consensus arguing that 'mechanism' as used in scientific practice is a methodological concept, which implies no deep metaphysical commitments.

Mechanisms in Scientific Practice: the Case of Apoptosis; 4. Mechanisms as Causal Pathways; 5: Mechanisms, Causation and Laws; 6: Against Activities; 7: Whither Counterfactuals?; Part III. Beyond New Mechanism: 8. Constitution vs Causation; 9. Multilevel Mechanistic Explanation; 10: Methodological Mechanism.
