From his wikipedia page:

has made significant contributions to philosophy of science, the theory of measurement, the foundations of quantum mechanics

Sounds like either self-advertisement or a hero-worship, depending on who wrote it.

I'm not familiar with his writings on the foundations of quantum mechanics, but in addition to his work on causality, the three volumes on measurement he co-authored have also been hugely influential. His intellectual autobiography (pdf) might be worth a look.
