Epistemological Value of Probabilistic Causality

Summary/Abstract: In this work I consider an epistemological value of probabilistic causality. In a probabilistic theory of causation, causes just increase the probability of their effects rather than necessitate their effects in the ways traditional deterministic theories have specified. This traditional point of view was determined by Hume’s understanding of causality. Because of that probabilistic model of causality can be seen as an alternative one when compared to the matrix made by Hume. Main thesis of this work is that probabilistic causality can be analyzed using the notion of hypothetical frequency. Probabilistic causality, seen in this way, is of great importance to modern science because of its capability for predicting and manipulating with processes.
