Abstract

Zusammenfassung Reichenbach (1951: 117) machte den Fortschritt der Philosophie daran fest, dass man mehr und mehr lernt, welche Fragen man besser nicht stellen sollte. Sich hierauf beziehend sagt Tukey (1961: 148): “[…] statistics has grown, and must continue to grow, by learning what questions not to fear.” Tukey (1986b: 289) ergänzt: “[…] the development of statistics can be portrayed as learning more and more things about which certainty should not be sought.” Tukey (1986c: 588f) fasst zusammen: “[…] the history of statistics has involved - indeed, very nearly consisted of - successive enforced retreats from certainty. Each step of that retreat has brought further gains. It is fair to say that statistics has made its greatest progress by having to move away from certainty, to move in a direction some would feel to be backward […] Each of these steps has built on the past, most have led to a weaker and weaker form of certainty.”
