The Science of Conjecture
——Evidence and Probability before Pascal
https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/content/science-conjecture
James Franklin
How did we make reliable predictions before Pascal and Fermat's discovery of
the mathematics of probability in 1654? What methods in law, science,
commerce, philosophy, and logic helped us to get at the truth in cases where
certainty was not attainable? In The Science of Conjecture, James Franklin
examines how judges, witch inquisitors, and juries evaluated evidence; how
scientists weighed reasons for and against scientific theories; and how
merchants counted shipwrecks to determine insurance rates.
The Science of Conjecture provides a history of rational methods of dealing
with uncertainty and explores the coming to consciousness of the human
understanding of risk.
James Franklin is a professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at
the University of New South Wales.
