The form of a pluralist theory of causation is to say that where we have different theories a, b, c, and d that apply in some but not all cases, we should instead take causation to be their disjunction: causation is either a or b or c or d. If causation is a varied phenomenon, while some of its cases will involve constant conjunction, others will instead be cases of counterfactual dependence, energy transference, or whatever else is needed.
