Synopsis "on science, inference, information and decision making"

there are two competing pictures of science. one considers science as a system of inferences, whereas another looks at science as a system of actions. the essays included in this collection offer a view which intends to combine both pictures. this compromise is well illustrated by szaniawskis analysis of statistical inferences. it is shown that traditional approaches to the foundations of statistics do not need to be regarded as conflicting with each other. thus, statistical rules can be treated as rules of behaviour as well as rules of inference. szaniawskis uniform approach relies on the concept of rationality, analyzed from the point of view of decision theory. applications of formal tools to the problem of justice and division of goods shows that the concept of rationality has a wider significance. audience: the book will be of interest to philosophers of science, logicians, ethicists and mathematicians.
