The more traditional approaches to the history and philosophy of
science and technology continue as well, and probably will continue
as long as there are skillful practitioners such as Carl Hempel,
Ernest Nagel, and th ir students. Finally, there are still other
approaches that address some of the technical problems arising when
we try to provide an account of belief and of rational choice. -
These include efforts to provide logical frameworks within which we
can make sense of these notions. This series will attempt to bring
together work from all of these approaches to the history and
philosophy of science and technology in the belief that each has
something to add to our understanding. The volumes of this series
have emerged either from lectures given by authors while they
served as honorary visiting professors at the City College of New
York or from conferences sponsored by that institution. The City
College Program in the History and Philosophy of Science and
Technology oversees and directs these lectures and conferences with
the financial aid of the Association for Philosophy of Science,
Psychotheraphy, and Ethics. MARTIN TAMNY RAPHAEL STERN PREFACE The
papers in this collection stem largely from the conference 'Foun
dations: Logic, Language, and Mathematics' held at the Graduate
Center of the City University of New York on 14-15 November 1980."
This even-handed treatment addresses the decades-old dispute among
probability theorists, asserting that both statistical and
inductive probabilities may be treated as sentence-theoretic
measurements, and that the latter qualify as estimates of the
former. Discusses sentence theory, set theory, statistical
probabilities, inductive probabilities, more. Illustrations and
footnotes elucidate definitions, theorems, and technicalities. 1962
edition.
