What are the most interesting recent books or papers on #causation in philosophy or nearby disciplines?

The work of @ranilillanjum and @SDMumford appeals to me in particular (but then, it tickles my biases).

I disagree with them pretty consistently, but I will definitely have some of their stuff on the reading list! They are super clear and interesting writers.

I don't know their work at all, is there something that you would recommend? Titles look interesting.

Causation: A User's Guide by L. A. Paul and Ned Hall would probably be useful. Ken Waters is editing a collection of essays on biology and causation coming out from the University of Minnesota Press.

I was just thinking of the stuff that Paul had done; and adding some biology into the mix is definitely a good idea!

I like nancy cartwright’s stuff a lot but it’s scattered throughout a lot of different papers

I’m not sure what a good reference in the philosophy literature, but something about the Lagrangian formalism and the principle of least action in physics, showcasing that causation isn’t a required or even very natural concept in modern physics.

(The Theoretical Minimum by Susskind and Hrabovsky is where I learned it, but it’s probably too technical for a philosophy class.)
