Karma points to whoever identifies them correctly!

The guy on the right is more accurately represented than the guy on the left, but the guy on the left may still be guessable based on the subject matter. Hint: the guy on the left is a philosopher known, among other things, for his post-1950 contributions to theory of causality.

(The guy in the middle is Judea Pearl, Ilya's advisor at UCLA.)

Update: dougclow correctly identified the man on the right, and vallinder correctly identified the man on the left.

The man on the left is Hans Reichenbach.
