Summary: The subject of this book is the quantitative concept of probability in probability theory. This present second English edition is not merely a reprinting of the first edition, but rather a translation of the third German edition, revised by the author in 1951; this last differs in many ways from the second German edition. The change consists essentially in the author's additions: The concept of randomness, which plays a central role in the author's theory, is reconsidered, in particular, with respect to the problem of mathematical consistency, and carefully reformulated. The question of substituting for it some 'limited randomness' is taken up, and the author concludes that, as far as the basic axioms are concerned, no such restriction is advisable.
