How do we model it, and how do we use it? Timothy Childers presents a lively introduction to the foundations of probability and to philosophical issues it raises. He keeps technicalities to a minimum, and assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. He explains the main interpretations of probability-frequentist, propensity, classical, Bayesian, and objective Bayesian-and uses stimulatingexamples to bring the subject to life. All students of philosophy will benefit from an understanding of probability,ProbabilitiesPhilosophyProbabilitiesPhilosophy.519.201Childers Timothy1494227MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790609703321Philosophy and probability3717630UNINA
