Succeeding sunrises (figurative or literal)

Hello,

I want to know whether the word "sunrises" has any figurative meaning or not.

thanks in advance

this has been so from the time when Price, communicating Bayes’ notes to the Royal Society [in 1763], first dwelt on the definite rule by which a man fresh to this world ought to regulate his expectation of succeeding sunrises, up to recent days when Keynes [A Treatise on Probability, 1921] has argued that it is almost discreditable to base any reliance on so foolish a theorem.
