Rezension zu „The Emergence of Probability “
"A fascinating in-depth study of the philosophical aspects of the concept of probability during its founding days." Andreas Karlsson, Uppsala University "[Hacking's] knowledge of the pertinent literature is considerable and the vigorous style of writing makes for enjoyable reading. Hacking states that his book was not written as history: be that as it may, but anyone who is interested in the history of probability and statistics, either as a philosopher or as a statistician, will find much here to think about." A.I. Dale, Mathematical Reviews
