(2010) Space, time, and spacetime, Dordrecht, Springer.
Spacetime realism requires that it is not hidden and not a cause. Its style of explanation is geometrical. It is argued that causal explanation is unworkable for cases of pure gravitation. Non-causal explanation is geometrical and exploits several identities where one might expect causal explanation. Thus a realist understanding of General Relativity is to be preferred.
