The Facts of Causation (Routledge, £35, ISBN 041509779 7) should have
been dynamite: the cast of characters and the plot are extraordinary enough.
Hume undermined causality, thereby threatening all our knowledge, even now. Kant
saw this and battled magnificently, but failed. Mellor ignores the drama, omits
aetiology and postpositivism—and is, therefore, confused and confusing, glib,
patronising and meretricious. Academic candyfloss at £35.
