Corry examines the metaphysical presuppositions in the reductive method of explanation. He argues that it makes assumptions about the nature of causal power and causal influence, he outlines implications for traditional philosophical problems, and he presents an integrated metaphysical worldview grounded in the nature of power and influence.

Richard Corry is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Tasmania. His main area of research is the metaphysics of science, particularly the place of time and causation in modern physics. He is also interested in exploring what philosophy of science can contribute to real-world issues, such as the public debate around climate change. He is editor, with Huw Price, of Causation, Physics, and the Constitution of Reality (Oxford 2007), and author, with David Coady, of The Climate Change Debate: An Epistemic and Ethical Enquiry (Palgrave 2013). He has also published articles on the philosophy of mind and the ethics of consumer responsibility.
