Instead\, in this light\, informal\, leisurely talk\, I attempt to highlight selected fundamental i ssues that arise in the field. For example\, starting from the logical sid e: Is "The coin probably lands heads" a sentence in classical logic? Or is it a modal sentence? Can we attach any meaning to the sentence "It is lik ely that the coin probably lands heads"? And how do we infer one such sent ence from another? By the end of the talk\, I hope to manage to indicate t hat convincing answers to these and other related questions are available. These answers pertain to logic and algebra\, but in turn suggest new ques tions in probability theory that are not traditionally associated with tha t field\; for example\, is there a "free"\, or most general\, assignment o f probabilities to the sentence "The coin lands heads”?\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/NCLogic/2/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
