书籍简介

历史记录显示，在十七世纪中叶之前，欧洲并没有真正的概率概念，尽管骰子和其他随机化物体的使用很普遍。伊恩-哈金对有关概率、归纳和统计推理的早期思想以及这个新的思想家族在十五、十六和十七世纪的发展进行了哲学上的批判。哈金引用了一个广泛的知识框架，涉及科学、经济学和该时期的神学的发展。

他认为，使概率概念得以出现的变革制约了概率理论的所有后续发展，并决定了关于该主题的哲学辩论仍在其中进行的空间。本版于1975年出版，包括一个导言，根据发展中的哲学趋势对他的书进行了梳理。伊恩-哈金是2009年霍尔伯格国际纪念奖得主。

Historical records show that there was no real concept of probability in Europe before the mid-seventeenth century, although the use of dice and other randomizing objects was commonplace. Ian Hacking presents a philosophical critique of early ideas about probability, induction, and statistical inference and the growth of this new family of ideas in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries. Hacking invokes a wide intellectual framework involving the growth of science, economics, and the theology of the period.

He argues that the transformations that made it possible for probability concepts to emerge have constrained all subsequent development of probability theory and determine the space within which philosophical debate on the subject is still conducted. First published in 1975, this edition includes an introduction that contextualizes his book in light of developing philosophical trends. Ian Hacking is the winner of the Holberg International Memorial Prize 2009.
