Unsicheres Wissen - Skeptizismus und Wahrscheinlichkeit 1550-1850

In this book, authors from a variety of disciplines examine how the interpretative disciplines deal with the lack or loss of certainty for their signs and texts. The focus is on forms of scepticism and theories of probability in the period from 1550 to 1850 which make it possible to access conceptualisations of “uncertain” or “weak” knowledge. Using historical source-material, the volume takes up impulses from research into probability and scepticism.
