Abstract
The concept of typicality refers to properties holding for the “vast majority” of cases and is a fundamental idea of the qualitative approach to dynamical problems. We argue that measure-theoretical typicality would be the adequate viewpoint for the role of probability in classical statistical mechanics, particularly in understanding the micro to macroscopic change of levels of description.
