Socratic Logic - Induction

Statistical Probability

The following are the notes I have taken from Peter Kreeft's wonderful Socratic Logic textbook. I highly recommend you buy it. This is a book which deals with classical logic (as opposed to modern symbolic logic.) It is easily the best overall book on logic I have ever read and one of the few I have that are worth making notes from. I even have a small duotang with these notes in it I can carry around and reference on a regular basis.

There are two kinds of probability:

A. Quantitatively measurable probabilty.

B. Non-quantifiable probability.

We must also distinguish between the probably of events and the probability of arguments.
