PHILOSOPHY & PROBABILITY C

Probability is increasingly important for our understanding of the world. What is probability? 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 stimulating examples to bring the subject to life. All students of philosophy will benefit from an understanding of probability and this is the book to provide it.
