Do probability and causality exist?
Background
Professor of Reasoning, Inference and Scientific Method
BSc (Manchester), MSc PhD (London)
Jon Williamson has interests in the philosophy of causality; the foundations of probability; logics and reasoning; and the use of causality, probability and logics in AI. His recent book Bayesian Nets and Causality develops the view that causality and probability are features of the way we represent the world, not a part of the world itself.
