Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book is a substantially revised and updated version of the volume Filoso?a della probabilita ` (Philosophy of Probability) published in Italian in 1995, ten years after the death of Bruno de Finetti. It is not a work left in written form by de Finetti but comes from the transcriptions of the tapes recording a course for graduate s- dents held by de Finetti in 1979 at the "Istituto nazionale di alta matematica" (- tional Institute for Advanced Mathematics) in Rome. To properly re ect the origin of the published material, a new title has been chosen for the present edition. The lectures- whichwere held orally,withoutthe supportofanywritten text - were recordedwith the aim of having them published. For that reason de Finetti and I had agreed on the recording of the lectures and his later editing of the resulting text. With this project in mind, along with the recording on tape, I took numerous notes and, above all, I noted carefully everythingde Finetti wrote on the blackboard during the lectures.
