He investigates the foundations of probability theory, examining how it relates to logic, statistics, and decision-making. Von Plato's contributions include clarifying concepts like chance, risk, and inference, helping to bridge gaps between mathematical principles and everyday reasoning. His work aims to provide a deeper understanding of how we assess and respond to uncertainty in both theoretical and practical contexts.
