Causality and Science may at first sound as abstract and, perhaps, as esoteric subjects. For, while one seems to touch on the transcendental and the metaphysical realm, the other seems to be rooted on terra firma. However, while reading through this compact and concise book, written with great clarity and precision, one comes to realize that there is no clash between these two, and indeed reconciliation between them is possible.

The author, with his remarkable erudition and scholarship, contends that the whole conception of science is so much bound up with the causal concept that it seems hardly possible that science could ever be able to do without it. He argues that space, time and causality are the three categories on which science is built.
