Abstract:
I will discuss some topics from my book
“The search for certainty. On the clash of science and philosophy of probability.”
My main claims are
(i) The philosophy of probability is a complete intellectual failure.
(ii) Frequency statistics has nothing in common with the frequency philosophy of probability of von Mises.
(iii) Bayesian statistics has nothing in common with the subjective philosophy of probability of de Finetti.
(iv) A few simple laws summarize well the science of probability.
