Think "Why?" Cause and Effect as the Key to Thinking
14.99 €
"Correlation is not causation" - this mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, led to a conditional ban on talking about causation. Today, that taboo has been overturned. The causal revolution discovered by Judea Pearl and his colleagues has weathered a century of confusion and put causality - the study of cause and effect - on a firm scientific footing. His work explains how we can understand simple things like why a sidewalk is wet - whether from rain or a sprinkler - and how to answer complex questions like whether a drug cured a disease. Perl's work allows us not only to discover whether one thing causes another: it allows us to explore realities that already exist and realities that could exist. It demonstrates the essence of human thought and provides the key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand both is in need of the book Think Why.
