This research was devoted to elaborate various models of probability theory which is adopted by a number of philosophers of science in the twentieth century.
The debate between them about the validity of probability theory is shown through philosophical researches, the research is distributed to fifth sections which can be listed as follow:
Part (1): The theory of classical probability (classical) has been devoted to knowledge of the basic model of probability theory.
Part (2): the theory of repetitive probability adopted by the philosopher of science Hans Reichenbach to fill the lack of the model
The basis of probability theory
part (3): The theory of logical probability adopted by the philosopher of science Rudolf Carnab to fill the logical deficit in the theory of the repetitive probability of Rischenbach, and also included sparring between them.
part(4): The theory of probability of vascular, divided into two parts:
Section 4.a: Pragmatisms is adopted by philosopher Charles Pierce
to enshrine pragmatism or tendency in the concept of probability.
Section 4.b: Karl Popper's Probabilistic Probability Theory, in which he defended the inability of probability to justify the induction method.
part(5): The theory of entropy probability, which was devoted to the contemporary theory of probability that took all previous models of probability according to information theory.
