Causality, Probability, and Medicine 9781138829305 - Free Tracked Delivery
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.

Throughout the book he applies them to important discoveries and theories within medicine, such as germ theory; tuberculosis and cholera;.
