The papers are related to talks presented in six subsequent workshops organized by \u003ci\u003eThe Budapest-Kraków Research Group on Probability, Causality and Determinism. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoverage consists of three parts. Part I focuses on the notion of probability from a general philosophical and formal epistemological perspective. Part II applies probabilistic considerations to address causal questions in the foundations of quantum mechanics. Part III investigates the question of indeterminism in spacetime theories. It also explores some related questions, such as decidability and observation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributing authors are all philosophers of science with a strong background in mathematics or physics. They believe that paying attention to the finer formal details often helps avoiding pitfalls that exacerbate the philosophical problems that are in the center of focus of contemporary research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe papers presented here help make explicit the mathematical-structural assumptions that underlie key philosophical argumentations. This formally rigorous and conceptually precise approach will appeal to researchers and philosophers as well as mathematicians and statisticians.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-04-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319554853\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-55486-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 242\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45383478608012,"sku":"9783319554853","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319554853.jpg?v=1774036500","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319554853","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
