Titel: History, Ethics and Emegent Probability

Stichwort: Unterschied zw. klassischer und statistischer Methode

Kurzinhalt: klassische Methode: die Natur von ...; statistische Methode: Zustand von ...

Textausschnitt: What is significant here is that Lonergan's account notes a difference in the classical scientist's and the statistical scientist's concern with events. The classical sciences seek to understand an event as the outcome of determining conditions. But the statistical sciences seek to understand the event in terms of its relations with other events whose recurrence defines the state of a population.
