Treatise on Probability - Keynes

[where_the]

Has anyone read this book ?

Is it considered relevant these days ?

it was written in 1921. 10 years before Kolmogorov's .

I don't consider this book relevant. Not because it's old, but because I browsed the book and only saw 10 equations and the rest all text...

Ya. you are right about the equations part.

But I found the book a bit weird because the author maintains that some probabilities are not numerically measurable.

For ex - according to the author it doesn't make sense to talk about the probability numerically when we say "probably it will rain today".

Hence I wanted to know what the general consensus is on his theory of probability in modern academic circles.

I guess Keynes is more famous for his works on economics.
