Thanks, I had a quick skim through it and it seems really helpful. If I understand correctly, the claim is that the laws of probability as they are known comprise the only possible interpretation that satisfies the 3 desiderata set forth in chapter 1.

I don't remember, the thing which really helped me click at least the bayesian interpretation was if we have A --> B and B, then A is more plausible and probability reasoning is a way to quantify how more plausible A is now that we know B is true.

Chapter 5 is also a doozy in terms of explaining some of the things going on currently.
