In his study of causation J. L. Mackie once referred back to David Hume, who listed causation among one of the principles that are TO US THE CEMENT OF THE UNIVERSE and thus OF VAST CONSEQUENCE IN THE SCIENCE OF HUMAN NATURE (David Hume, AN ABSTRACT OF A “TREATISE OF HUMAN NATURE”). Yet for example the early endeavours of the developers of the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) framework, which aimed at embedding causal meaning into the formal treatment, seem to be neglected, and David Lewis’ counterfactual analysis of causation based on his possible worlds semantics does not come very handy for application. As Judea Pearl summarises: WE ARE WITNESSING ONE OF THE MOST BIZARRE CIRCLES IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE: CAUSALITY IN SEARCH OF A LANGUAGE AND, SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE LANGUAGE OF CAUSALITY IN SEARCH OF ITS MEANING (Judea Pearl, CAUSALITY, 2000). Borrowing mathematical rigour from statistics, one of the most prominent areas of causal modelling today sounds out the interaction of probabilistic and deterministic approaches and is centred around Bayesian Networks, through which causal notions can be identified concretely and utilised for various disciplines eventually.

You have some deep questions about health, medicine, and alternative medicine. We do, too! Join your host, Dr. James Mohebali, doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, as we ask some of these difficult questions. Through clinical experience, deep study, and interviews with some of the best professionals in alternative and mainstream healthcare, we try to get to the bottom of these questions, finding out what we know, what we don’t know, and what’s at stake when it comes to our thoughts and our decisions about health, wellness, disease, and medicine itself. Our goal is that at the end of every episode, you will have a new way of relating to medicine, to health, and even to your own body.New episodes every other Monday morning.
