Depth: an Account of Scientific Explanation
Michael Strevens
Proposes a theory of scientific explanation and understanding that revises and augments the familiar causal approach to explanation. This book discards the usual criterion of counterfactual dependence in favor of a criterion that turns on a process of progressive abstraction away from a fully detailed, physical causal story.
