Quotes

• “Well, he wasn't a relativist. There's a long and complicated story of the rise of a desire for scientific relativism. Part of it may well be simply sort of rage against reason, the fear of the sciences and a kind of total dislike of the arrogance of a great many scientists who say we're finding out the truth about everything—and here [with Kuhn] there was a way to undermine that arrogance.”
• “There are two ways in which a science develops; in response to problems which is itself creates, and in response to problems that are forced on it from the outside.”
• “Pascal is called the founder of modern probability theory. He earns this title not only for the familiar correspondence with Fermat on games of chance, but also for his conception of decision theory, and because he was an instrument in the demolition of probabilism, a doctrine which would have precluded rational probability theory.”
• “Opinion is the companion of probability within the medieval epistemology.”
• “Many modern philosophers claim that probability is relation between an hypothesis and the evidence for it.”
• “Until the seventeenth century there was no concept of evidence with which to pose the problem of induction!”
