Frank P. Ramsey

Frank P. Ramsey was a British philosopher and mathematician known for his contributions to several fields, including logic, probability, and truth. In the logic of conditionals, he explored how "if-then" statements work, emphasizing their role in reasoning rather than just as factual claims. He also proposed the deflationary theory of truth, suggesting that asserting a statement is true is merely a way of endorsing the statement itself, avoiding deeper metaphysical debates. In statistics, he helped develop the foundations of subjective probability, emphasizing how personal belief influences statistical reasoning and decision-making.
