Logic of Statistical Inference

Neuware - One of Ian Hacking's earliest publications, this book showcases his early ideas on the central concepts and questions surrounding statistical reasoning.

Presented in a fresh twenty-first-century series livery, and including a specially commissioned preface written by Jan-Willem Romijn, illuminating its enduring importance and relevance to philosophical enquiry, Hacking's influential and original work has been revived for a new generation of readers.
