Ian shared his views and works with many students across the world and continues to this day. Dedicating his entire life to Philosophy and giving back the education he took. -

Taming of Chance
Taming of Chance was written in 1990 by Ian Hacking. Taming of Chance described how society became static in the nineteenth century and no one took risk everything was day by day, very routine. Publication such as this would show philosophers and scientist that you should not accept history or the routine set in front of you. Take chances, conduct new experiments, and develop new hypothesis. https://informationphilosopher.com/solutions/philosophers/hacking/
