Invariance, mechanisms and epidemiology
pp. 137-140
Résumé
In her paper "Causality and Explanation: issues from epidemiology", Raffaella Campaner tries to put forth a challenge to current philosophical accounts of explanation. Of the latter, Campaner finds most relevant to epidemiological practices the mechanistic accounts of Glennan and Machamer, Darden, and Craver and Woodward's interventionist account of explanation.
