Originally published in 1923 Chance and Error examines the vagaries
of chance, and how this is the result of the interference of yes
and no. The book basis its examination of chance on the idea of a
two-sided coin. The book stipulates that contradictories are head
and tail, or yes and no. When the coin is flipped in the air yes
normally wins half of the trials, but this includes half of the
half that normally go to no. Thus, normally in one quarter of the
trials there is an interference of yes and no. From this the chance
of any number of heads or tails can be easily calculated, and all
results that are attained by more difficult mathematics are
secured. The book uses this idea to examine interference of yes and
no in everyday life and argues that this causes the variations in
everything that goes on around us in nature and in our daily life.
This book will be of interest to philosophers of logic, as well as
mathematicians.
