Donald Gillies is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy of Science and Mathematics at University College London, UK.
Why is understanding causation so important in philosophy and the sciences? Should causation be defined in terms of probability? Whilst causation plays a major role in theories and concepts of medicine, little attempt has been made to connect causation and probability with medicine itself. Causality, Probability, and Medicine is one of the first books to apply philosophical reasoning about causality to important topics and debates in medicine. Donald Gillies provides a thorough introduction to and assessment of competing theories of causality in philosophy, including action-related theories, causality and mechanisms, and causality and probability. Throughout the book he applies them to important discoveries and theories within medicine, such as germ theory; tuberculosis and cholera; smoking and heart disease; the first ever randomized controlled trial designed to test the treatment of tuberculosis; the growing area of philosophy of evidence-based medicine; and philosophy of epidemiology. This book will be of great interest to students and researchers in philosophy of science and philosophy of medicine, as well as those working in medicine, nursing and related health disciplines where a working knowledge of causality and probability is required.

看瞭一整天大概掃完瞭。這個作者寫文章真的好清晰啊,很喜歡他的寫作風格。不敢說完全看懂瞭,但感覺還是有些收獲的(話說我一大外行為什麼會對因果關係這麼感興趣)。他和現下正紅的Pearl不是一個套路的,但感覺對他兩派的分歧還可以寫得更多些。
