Intensional vs extensional probabilities from their origins to Laplace / U. Garibaldi and M.A. Penco.
Abstract:
'This paper compares one of the first applications of probability calculus to human testimony, a treatise which appeared in 1699 in the "Philosophical Transactions", [an anonymous paper, 'A calculation of the credibility of human testimony',] with Laplace's treatise of 1814 on the same subject, in order to emphasize the radical conceptual changes which occurred in the field of probability during the late 18th century.'
