Part 2 - Jos Uffink: 'The interpretation of probability in a historical perspective'

This talk aims to introduce, in a historical context,the four main current views on the meaning of probability, as well as the problems that plague each of those views. I will argue that while all these views could in principle coexist peacefully, it is in the realm of statistics that they tend to clash.

Jos Uffink is professor for philosophy at the University of Minnesota.
