 While the contrastivist account of causation is generally considered to be a version of causal contextualism, contrastivism is nonetheless invariantist in the sense that there is a context-independent fact of the matter about which four-place causal relations hold: it’s just plain true that Suzy’s stealing the cake rather than leaving empty-handed caused her to be ill rather than well, and false that her stealing rather than buying the cake caused her to be ill rather than well. The contrastivist account might therefore be seen as a kind of middle road between invariantism and contextualism. (See Steglich-Petersen 2012 and Montminy &amp; Russo 2016 for critical discussions of contextualism/contrastivism.)
