...this collection contains significant, thought-provoking
material, especially from the viewpoint of researchers approaching
the topic of metaphysics in the philosophy of science with
supporting background knowledge, and perhaps some pre-existing
personal opinions and beliefs on the matter. It is also certainly
of relevance for people interested in the specific topics that are
discussed, such as the methodology of Newton's Principia, the
status of biological concepts, or interventionist approaches to
causation.
