- Title
Johannes von Kries's Principien: A Brief Guide for the Perplexed.
- Authors
Zabell, Sandy
- Abstract
This paper has the aim of making Johannes von Kries's masterpiece, Die Principien der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung of , a little more accessible to the modern reader in three modest ways: first, it discusses the historical background to the book (in particular, what Keynes later termed the 'principle of indifference'); next, it summarizes the basic elements of von Kries's approach (in particular, his 'Principle of the Spielraum'); and finally, it examines the so-called 'principle of cogent reason' with which von Kries's name is often identified in the English literature.
