Recenzje

Power and Influence: The Metaphysics of Reductive Explanation is a well-developed approach to an important topic, and provides many important considerations not only for those interested in reduction, powers, and metaphysical explanation, but also for those working in the areas of causation and emergence to which Corry applies his framework.
