 Salmon’s theory of causal explanation had a strong impact on the literature, especially in connection with the biological and medical sciences. Bringing to the fore the notion of mechanism, Salmon stimulated the formation of the so-called ‘new mechanicism’, see Glennan 2017, and spurred a renewed interest in the process approach to explanation, see among others Damman 2020, and Nicholson &amp; Dupré (eds.) 2018.
