具体描述
A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence
"Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality--the study of cause and effect--on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

读后感
rather than a new science. 1，作者并没有区分自然科学和社会以及行为科学，没有讨论这两个领域因果推断的异同，也没有上升到科学哲学的层面讨论因果推断本身。这些本身都不是问题。只是就内容来说，书中的science实际上指的是社会科学和行为科学，作者所说的“因果革命 (the ...

在过去不到三十年的时间里，人们对因果关系这个问题的理解取得了突破式的进步，可以说是发生了一场“因果革命”。珀尔这本书，就是向“聪明的外行”介绍这个新学说。
评分very easy to read, 文笔流畅，想一口气读下去！可惜现在是凌晨一点。 有点想重拾两年前看了一点的他写的casuality了
评分哲学逻辑课～
评分感觉写得不好. 如果要了解causal inference还是看标准的教材吧
评分Satisfied and recommended to colleagues already...
