Product description

The philosophy of the book is a historical and cognitive journey in the development of philosophical probability theories from the sixteenth century until the late twentieth century. It addresses in its four chapters the meanings of probability and its axioms, its relation to induction, and the development of probability theory since Galileo and Blaise Pascal in the first chapter. The second chapter presents the most important subjective conceptions of probability and the approach of probability to suspicion, ignorance, and belief, as well as the prior conception of probability at Laplace, and Karnap's deep contribution to the development of philosophical probability research.
