Description

This reissue of D. A. Gillies' influential philosophical work, originally published in 1973, presents a comprehensive theory of probability grounded in objective principles. Gillies develops and refines von Mises' foundational views, arguing that probability theory functions as a mathematical science comparable to mechanics and electrodynamics, treating probability as an objective, measurable concept akin to force, mass, or charge. Rather than accepting von Mises' limiting frequency definition, Gillies proposes that probability should be treated as a primitive or undefined term, aligning with modern axiomatisation approaches. This Routledge Revivals edition makes this seminal text accessible to contemporary readers interested in the philosophy and foundations of probability, offering valuable insights into how probability sits at the intersection of pure mathematics and physical measurement.

Key Features

An Objective Theory of Probability reexamines von Mises' philosophical framework with rigorous mathematical reasoning for modern probability studies.

Gillies treats probability as an objective, measurable concept comparable to established physical properties like force and mass.

The work proposes probability as a primitive term rather than a limiting frequency definition, reflecting current axiomatic standards.

Originally published in 1973 and reissued by Routledge Revivals to preserve this influential contribution to probability philosophy.

Comprehensive exploration of probability theory as a mathematical science with applications across mechanics, electrodynamics, and related fields.
