Epistemology Probability and statistics Philosophy of science Logic Subjectivity Philosophy Jeffreys, Harold Ramsey, Frank Plumpton

Harold Jeffreys' ideas on the interpretation of probability and epistemology are reviewed. It is argued that with regard to the interpretation of probability, Jeffreys embraces a version of logicism that shares some features of the subjectivism of Ramsey and de Finetti. Jeffreys also developed a probabilistic epistemology, characterized by a pragmatical and constructivist attitude towards notions such as 'objectivity', 'reality' and 'causality'.
