"The book gives evidence of a powerful philosophical mind, and it
is well worth the investment its careful study
requires."--Philosophical Review
"There is no doubt whatsoever that this book will be a serious
contribution to the field. No one, I am confident, has even come
close to developing as thorough and persuasive a treatment of
uncertain reasoning and its relation to nomic probability. It is
very impressive. The unity that Pollock's book introduces to the
treatment of statistics, induction, nonmonotonic reasoning in AI,
and defeasible reasoning in epistemology, constitutes a
permanent
contribution in itself."--Henry Kyburg, University of Rochester
