One would rather say that it is characterized by certain ‘negative‘ features, i. e. by certain at- titudes which appear to be the negation of well established tra- ditional assumptions, conceptual frameworks, world outlooks and the like. It is because of this opposition to tradition that the probabilistic approach is perceived as expressing a ‘modern‘ in- tellectual style. As an example one could mention the widespread diffidence in philosophy with respect to self -contained systems claiming to express apodictic truths, instead of which much weaker pretensions are preferred, that express ‘probable‘ interpretations of reality, of history, of man (the hermeneutic trend).
