Reviews

The book will certainly be appreciated by researchers and graduate students in computer science, mathematics and philosophy and, in particular, by all interested in the complicated relations between subjective and objective interpretations of probabilistic phenomena. EMS Newsletter Bayesian Nets and Causality is a very well-written and well-organized book ... No doubt it will be recognized as a very important contribution to the philosophy of probability and causality by a young distinguished philosopher. Sungho Choi, Mind


`This book is a remarkable piece of work by a very talented author ...' Don Gillies, Professor of the Philosophy of Science and Mathematics, King's College, London `Jon Williamson is the ideal person to do this. The book is fluent, interesting, knowledgeable, fair but suitably provocative ...' Jeff Paris, Professor of Pure Mathematics, Department of Mathematics, University of Manchester `This book marks an important development ... the whole exposition is something of a tour de force, Williamson's book will come to be recognised as a major contribution ' Colin Howson, Chair in Philosophy of Science, London School of Economics
