Bruno de Finetti (1906-1985) is the founder of the subjective
interpretation of probability, together with the British
philosopher Frank Plumpton Ramsey. His related notion of
"exchangeability" revolutionized the statistical methodology. This
book (based on a course held in 1979) explains in a language
accessible also to non-mathematicians the fundamental tenets and
implications of subjectivism, according to which the probability of
any well specified fact F refers to the degree of belief actually
held by someone, on the ground of her whole knowledge, on the truth
of the assertion that F obtains.
