Causal inference | Probabilistic arguments

Probabilistic causation

Probabilistic causation is a concept in a group of philosophical theories that aim to characterize the relationship between cause and effect using the tools of probability theory. The central idea behind these theories is that causes raise the probabilities of their effects, all else being equal. (Wikipedia).

Alison Gopnik - What is Causation?

In a "billiard-ball world" of Newtonian science, causation was obvious—things had to touch each other in space and a cause always had to precede an effect. But quantum mechanics destroys such notions. What then is causation? Moreover, must causes always be physical? Is "mental causation" a
