Description
Introduction
CONCEPTUAL OUTLINE OF THIS COLLECTION OF PAPERS
A few introductory words may serve to guide the reader through the diverse topics of these collected papers.
In a manner of speaking, there is only one topic: the role of probability-interpreted always as subjective probability-in thinking and acting. The assessing of probabilities, as expressions of subjective feeling, and reasoning with probabilities, obeying objectively necessary conditions of coherency, constitute the logic of uncertainty; they are the general tools of our minds along with formal logic, which is concerned with the ideal case of absolute certainty. - from Amzon
