متن کاملProbability, rational belief and belief change
A simple model of rational belief holds that: (i) an instantaneous snapshot of an ideally rational belief system corresponds to a probability distribution; and (ii) rational belief change occurs by Bayesian conditionalization. But a priori probability distributions of the Kolmogorov sort cannot distinguish between propositions that are simply true from propositions that are necessarily true. Fu...
متن کاملA theory of belief
A theory of belief is presented in which uncertainty has two dimensions. The two dimensions have a variety of interpretations. The article focusses on two of these interpretations. The first is that one dimension corresponds to probability and the other to ‘‘definiteness,’’ which itself has a variety of interpretations. One interpretation of definiteness is as the ordinal inverse of an aspect o...
متن کاملBelief Change and Semiorders
A central result in the AGM framework for belief revision is the construction of revision functions in terms of total preorders on possible worlds. These preorders encode comparative plausibility: r ă r1 states that the world r is at least as plausible as r1. Indifference in the plausibility of two worlds, r, r1, denoted r „ r1, is defined as r ⊀ r1 and r1 ⊀ r. Herein we take a closer look at p...
متن کاملBelief Change and Dependence
1 I N T R O D U C T I O N The central question in the theory of belief revision is what is meant by a minimal change of a state of belief. The well-known AGM rationali ty postulates for contraction (AlchourrSn et al. 1985, G£rdenfors 1988) partially answer tha t question: ( K i ) K A is a theory.
