Woodward allows that not all explanations in physics need be causal and notes that physics is taken seriously, there are highly idealized models of significant explanatory value. explanation via highly idealized models in physics need to be examined in detail. Woodward's claim that many (non-fundamental) explanations in physics are causal. ./cache/work_vswals33wjfxldvnx5yhouast4.pdf ./txt/work_vswals33wjfxldvnx5yhouast4.txt
