论文摘要
这篇简短的论文汇编了一些哲学观点,定义和因果关系的概念。该系列涵盖了四种常见的因果关系方法的领域:Humes规律性,反事实,操纵和机制。这篇简短的审查是通过提出简化的观点和定义来激发的,然后用各个领域的例子来为他们补充,包括经济学,教育,医学,政治,物理和工程。希望这份简短的评论对新的和有兴趣的读者有很少的了解,对因果关系和因果推论很少。
This short paper compiles the big ideas behind some philosophical views, definitions, and examples of causality. This collection spans the realms of the four commonly adopted approaches to causality: Humes regularity, counterfactual, manipulation, and mechanisms. This short review is motivated by presenting simplified views and definitions and then supplements them with examples from various fields, including economics, education, medicine, politics, physics, and engineering. It is the hope that this short review comes in handy for new and interested readers with little knowledge of causality and causal inference.
