About this title

Synopsis

This book presents a major conceptual and speculative philosophic investigation of knowledge, belief and decision. It offers a distinctive approach to the improvement of knowledge where knowledge is constructed as a resource for deliberation and inquiry.

Review

"Its importance lies in its new emphasis on a general, credal probability and in its forward-looking, decision-oriented view of knowledge. It leads us further along the road toward a philosphically satisfying, yet usable, appreciation of scientific method: an appreciation that could do much in a really practical way to assist the development of science and technology."--"Nature"
