Abstract
I consider the normative question ‘Should the concept of causation be used in the sciences?’ from within a manipulationist framework. In particular, I will explore three distinct reasons why manipulationists of different stripes (i.e. interventionists and agency theorists) might be compelled to answer this question in the negative.
