Publisher's Synopsis
A Philosophical Essay On Probabilities is a classic work of philosophy and mathematics written by Pierre Simon de Laplace in 1902. The book explores the concept of probability and its applications in various fields, including science, economics, and philosophy. It delves into the fundamental principles of probability theory, including the laws of chance and the concept of randomness. De Laplace also discusses the relationship between probability and causality, arguing that probabilistic reasoning can be used to understand causal relationships in complex systems. He also explores the role of probability in decision-making, arguing that rational decision-making requires a thorough understanding of the probabilities involved. Throughout the book, De Laplace uses a clear and concise writing style, making complex mathematical concepts accessible to a wide audience. He provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the principles he is discussing. Overall, A Philosophical Essay On Probabilities is a seminal work in the field of probability theory and remains an important text for anyone interested in the philosophy of science, mathematics, or economics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
