  Book Description
  Publication Date: January 9, 2013
  There exist literary histories of probability and
scientific histories of probability, but it has generally been thought that the two did not meet. Campe begs to differ.
Mathematical probability, he argues, took over the role of the old probability of poets, orators, and logicians, albeit
in scientific terms. Indeed, mathematical probability would not even have been possible without the other probability,
whose roots lay in classical antiquity.
  The Game of Probability revisits the seventeenth and eighteenth-century
"probabilistic revolution," providing a history of the relations between mathematical and rhetorical techniques, between
the scientific and the aesthetic. This was a revolution that overthrew the "order of things," notably the way that
science and art positioned themselves with respect to reality, and its participants included a wide variety of people
from as many walks of life. Campe devotes chapters to them in turn. Focusing on the interpretation of games of chance as
the model for probability and on the reinterpretation of aesthetic form as verisimilitude (a critical question for
theoreticians of that new literary genre, the novel), the scope alone of Campe's book argues for probability's crucial
role in the constitution of modernity.
  
  Review

 "Rüdiger Campe's The Game of Probability lays out—for the first time and in all its complexity—a
semantic field crucial to our modernity: to our social and juridical modernity, to our scientific and mathematical
modernity, to our literary modernity. The breadth and depth of learning upon which this book rests will make it an
invaluable resource for scholars across the historical-humanistic disciplines and the bright light generated by its
readings will illuminate countless research projects. This marvelous book belongs among the most distinguished
publications to have emerged out of cultural studies in Germany during the past thirty years."—David E. Wellbery University of Chicago
