Making it Formally Explicit Probability, Causality and Indeterminism

Making it Formally Explicit Probability, Causality and Indeterminism / edited by Gábor Hofer-Szabó, Leszek Wroński.

This book collects research papers on the philosophical foundations of probability, causality, spacetime and quantum theory. The papers are related to talks presented in six subsequent workshops organized by The Budapest-Kraków Research Group on Probability, Causality and Determinism. Coverage consi...
