[Introduction] In recent years, there has been a philosophical cottage industry \nproducing arguments that our concept of causation is not univocal: \nthat there are in fact two (or more) concepts of causation, \ncorresponding to distinct species of causal relation. Papers written in \nthis tradition have borne titles like "Two Concepts of Cause" (Sober \n1985) and "Two Concepts of Causation" (Hall forthcoming). With \ndue apologies to Charles Dickens, I hereby make my own contribution \nto this genre
