Beyond the radical followers of the two schools, a circle of pluralist thinkers tends to reconcile the opposing concepts. The author uses two theorems in order to prove that the various interpretations of probability do come into opposition and can be used in different contexts. The goal here is to clarify the multi fold nature of probability by means of a purely mathematical approach and to show how philosophical arguments can only serve to deepen actual intellectual contrasts. The book can be considered as one of the most important contributions in the analysis of probability interpretation in the last 10-15 years. 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aMathematics 606 $aHistory 606 $aMathematical logic 606 $aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004 606 $aHistory of Mathematical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009 606 $aMathematical Logic and Foundations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M24005 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aMathematical logic. 615 14$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes. 615 24$aHistory of Mathematical Sciences. 615 24$aMathematical Logic and Foundations. 676 $a510 676 $a510.9 676 $a511.3 676 $a519.2 700 $aRocchi$b Paolo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0441156 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300151303321 996 $aJanus-faced probability$91410245 997 $aUNINA
