Abstract
This paper concerns presuppositions of the two extant propensity theories of probability: Peirce’s and Popper’s. Of course the frequency theory, the logical theory, and the subjective theory are more popular. By contrast with these theories, propensity theory digs deeply below the phenomenal surface, resembling in this respect what Bunge calls representational theories.
