Synthese, 1987
Abstract In chapters 1 and 2, I argued for a mechanistic theory, but I did not give an argument for a nonexplanatory theory of causation. In this chapter I argue that a theory of causation should not be explanatory—direct causes should not be thought of as exemplifying properties in virtue of which they bring about their effects.

Causal boundary for stably causal spacetimes
General Relativity and Gravitation, 1988Ths is another step to improve the Geroch-Kronheimer-Penrose boundary construction for space-times. A new identification rule is proposed on the set of ideal points of a space-time which seems to be more satisfactory in the stably causal case. But it remains difficult to describe the corresponding equivalence relation explicitly.
