Extract

The complex question of what counts as appropriate evidence for necessary and/or sufficient causation merits careful, ongoing discussion. I thank Kevin Clarke (2002) and Bear Braumoeller and Gary Goertz (2002) for their thoughtful responses to my (Seawright 2002) article, and I discuss their comments in turn.
