商品简介
Ockham's razor, the principle of parsimony, states that simpler theories are better than theories that are more complex. It has a history dating back to Aristotle and it plays an important role in current physics, biology, and psychology. The razor also gets used outside of science - in everyday life and in philosophy. This book evaluates the principle and discusses its many applications. Fascinating examples from different domains provide a rich basis for contemplating the principle's promises and perils. It is obvious that simpler theories are beautiful and easy to understand; the hard problem is to figure out why the simplicity of a theory should be relevant to saying what the world is like. In this book, the ABCs of probability theory are succinctly developed and put to work to describe two 'parsimony paradigms' within which this problem can be solved.奥卡姆剃刀，即简约原则，指出简单的理论比复杂的理论更好。它的历史可以追溯到亚里士多德，在当今的物理学、生物学和心理学中发挥着重要作用。剃刀也被用于科学之外的领域——日常生活和哲学中。本书评估了该原理并讨论了其许多应用。来自不同领域的引人入胜的例子为思考该原则的承诺和危险提供了丰富的基础。显然，更简单的理论是美丽且易于理解的；困难的问题是弄清楚为什么理论的简单性应该与描述世界是什么样子相关。本书简洁地阐述了概率论的基础知识，并用于描述可以解决此问题的两种“简约范式”。
