Probabilistic causation: Deterministic versus probabilistic theory, Closed versus open systems & Overview

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.
