 Regularity theories of causation have lost acceptance among philosophers to a considerable extent. One reason is David Lewis’s (1973) influential attack on the regularity approach which concludes that its prospects are dark. And indeed, the problem of spurious causation—to pick just one—was severe for the regularity and inferential theories back then. Mackie’s INUS account and simple deductive-nomological accounts alike cannot properly distinguish genuine from spurious causes, for example in common cause scenarios. In the meantime, however, regularity and inferential theories have been developed that offer at least tentative solutions to the problem of spurious causation, for instance Baumgartner (2013), Spohn (2012), and Andreas and Günther (2020) (which are presented in  §1.4,  §2.2,  §2.3,  respectively).
