ABSTRACT
Pluralism about causation is an attractive option. All theories of causation face counterexamples and all attempts to fix them lead to new counterexamples. Though, as always in philosophy, guarantees are hard to come by, there is ample prima facie evidence that there is no single essential property or set of essential properties that is shared among all causal relations. In response, a growing number of philosophers have considered pluralist stances towards causation (Anscombe 1971; Campaner and Galavotti 2007; Cartwright 1999, 2007b; De Vreese 2006; Godfrey-Smith 2009; Hall 2004; Hitchcock 2003; Longworth 2006a, b; Psillos 2009; Russo and Williamson 2007; Weber 2007).
