Abstract
At least six different kinds of theory about the semantics and epistemology of Pascalian probability are easily distinguishable in the history of the subject. One kind of theory evaluates probabilities with the help of a principle of indifference, a second by reference to relative frequencies, a third by natural propensities, a fourth by actual or appropriate strength of belief, a fifth by multi-valued logic and a sixth by ratios of logical ranges. What are we to make of this embarrassingly rich diversity of philosophical analyses?
