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.
