IS THERE MORE TO UNCERTAINTY THAN SOME PROBABILITY THEORISTS MIGHT HAVE US BELIEVE?*

Abstract

Abstract The aim of the paper is to challenge the claims (as described by Lindley38). “that probability is the only sensible description of uncertainty and is adequate for all problems involving uncertainty. All other methods are inadequate”. The paper concentrates primarily on the codification of the concept of uncertainty and the discussion of adequate principles of maximum and minimum uncertainty.
