I'll venture a comment. My last position at Carnegie Mellon was as a "Principal Scientist" in the Philosophy Department. My colleagues over the years had developed algorithms for inferring causal models based on observational data. Didn't someone here recently say that correlation is not causation? My job was to implement the algorithms and to develop online user interfaces to make them available to practicing scientists. My colleagues were bonafide philosophers of science. I think I've already mentioned their book "Causation, Prediction, and Search". See http://www.phil.cmu.edu/tetrad for details.
