2. No probability

There seems to be a consensus that none of the standard interpretations of probability can provide an ultimate definition in empirical terms of what probability is.  According to this consensual conclusion we must say that  (A) Probability is not the ratio of cases favourable to the event in question over the total number of (equally possible) possibilities. (B) Probability is not relative frequency on a finite sample. (C) Probability is not limiting relative frequency. (D) Probability is not propensity. (E) Probability is not degree of belief. Then what is probability?
