This book introduces philosophy students to probability and decision theory. It emphasizes visual techniques and explanations, such as decision trees, eikosograms, and Euler diagrams, all produced with ggplot2
.
The HTML version of the book improves navigation with a dropdown menu (implemented in pure CSS), allowing the book to have many chapters without crowding the top of the page. (There are 24 chapters, one for each lecture in the course.)
Thanks to the tufte
package, the margin notes also supply context, historical background, links to relevant sources, and points of curiosity.
