Not limited to merely mathematics, probability has a rich and controversial philosophical aspect. A Philosophical Introduction to Probability showcases lesser-known philosophical notions of probability and explores the debate over their interpretations. Galavotti traces the history of probability and its mathematical properties and then discusses various philosophical positions on probability, from the Pierre Simon de Laplace's “classical” interpretation of probability to the logical interpretation proposed by John Maynard Keynes. This book is a valuable resource for students in philosophy and mathematics and all readers interested in notions of probability.

Maria Carla Galavotti is professor of philosophy of science in the department of philosophy at the University of Bologna. Roberto Scazzieri is professor of economic analysis in the department of economics at the University of Bologna. Patrick Suppes is Lucie Stern professor emeritus of philosophy at Stanford University.
