The principle is of central importance in the philosophy of science, especially in causal explanation, causal modeling and in the foundations of quantum physics. Written for philosophers of science, physicists and statisticians, this book contributes to the debate over the validity of the common cause principle, by proving results that bring to the surface the nature of explanation by common causes. It provides a technical and mathematically rigorous examination of the notion of common cause, providing an analysis not only in terms of classical probability measure spaces, which is typical in the available literature, but in quantum probability theory as well. The authors provide numerous open problems to further the debate and encourage future research in this field. 606 $aCausation 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy 615 0$aCausation. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy. 676 $a122 700 $aHofer-Szabo?$b Ga?bor$01052220 702 $aRe?dei$b Miklo?s 702 $aSzabo?$b La?szlo?
