With this insightful exploration of the probabilistic connection between philosophy and the history of science, the famous economist breathed new life into studies of both disciplines. Originally published in 1921, this important mathematical work represented a significant contribution to the theory regarding the logical probability of propositions, and launched the “logical-relationist” theory.
Unabridged republication of the 1921 first edition published by Harper & Row, Publishers, New York, 1962.
