PHIL 062 PZ - Chance and Scientific Reasoning

How should we reason in conditions of uncertainty? We confront this question often, but particularly in the sciences, where we routinely need to reason using probabilities or make use of inductive methods. The probability calculus, inductive logic, conditional probability and Bayes’ Theorem for updating our beliefs based on new evidence will all be explored.
