Nomic Probability and the Foundations of Induction

ISBN: 9780195060133 出版年：1990 页码：363 Pollock, John L Oxford University Press

In this book Pollock examines the subject of probabilistic reasoning, making general philosophical sense of objective probabilities and exploring their relationship to the problem of induction. His main claim is that the fundamental notion of probability is nomic -- that is, it involves the notion of natural law, valid across all possible worlds.
