Colin Howson is Professor of Philosophy at the London School of Economics.
Delivered with pace and consistent intelligence. The book covers a
great deal of ground, including Hume's sceptical argument, the new
riddle of induction, naturalised epistemology, reliabilism,
scientific realism, deductivism, objective chances and Hume on
miracles, all from a Bayesian perspective...often provocative and
repeatedly enlightening.
