Ernest Nagel's 'Principles of the theory of Probability' is closely related to :

  • A.Verification Principle
  • B.Unity of Sciences project
  • C.Elimination of metaphysics
  • D.Theories of truth

Answer: B

Nagel's monograph is closely related to the Unity of Sciences project.

Ernest Nagel's Principles of the Theory of Probability (1939) was published as a number of the International Encyclopedia of Unified Science, the series launched by Otto Neurath, Rudolf Carnap and Charles Morris to carry forward the logical empiricists' programme of a unified science.

The verification principle and the elimination of metaphysics are related themes of logical positivism, but the monograph's home and purpose belong to the unified science project. It is a study of the foundations of probability, not of theories of truth.
