Chance, Credence and Circles
This is a discussion of Richard Pettigrew’s Accuracy and the Laws of Credence. I target Pettigrew’s application of the accuracy framework to derive chance-credence principles. My principal contention is that Pettigrew’s preferred version of the argument might, in one sense, be circular. To support this (but also as an objection in its own right), I argue that Pettigrew’s premises have content t...
متن کاملTone circles and chance
As first noticed by Bodman (1955), Southern Min tone sandhi gives rise to the system of alternations among the lexical long tones shown in (1) (using the phonetic tone values found in Chiayi county in southern Taiwan, expressed in the 5-point IPA scale). Given its shape, this system is often called the Southern Min Tone Circle (though the Southern Min Tone Lollipop would be a more accurate name...
متن کاملDeterministic probability: neither chance nor credence
Some have argued that chance and determinism are compatible in order to account for the objectivity of probabilities in theories that are compatible with determinism, like Classical Statistical Mechanics (CSM) and Evolutionary Theory (ET). Contrarily, some have argued that chance and determinism are incompatible, and so such probabilities are subjective. In this paper, I argue that both of thes...
متن کاملOn the Notion of Admissibility in Chance-Credence Principles: A Comment on Vranas
The precise formulation of PP requires some notation. Let Ch be a function that assigns a number in the interval [0,1] to each proposition A. is the proposition that Ch assigns the chance x to A. Let Cr be a function that assigns a number in the interval [0,1] to each proposition A, corresponding to a person’s degree of belief (or credence) in A. Finally, let E be any proposition. W...
متن کاملQuaternionic Product of Circles and Cycles and Octonionic Product for Pairs of Circles
This paper concerns with a product of circles induced by the quaternionic product considered in a projective manner. Several properties of this composition law are derived and on this way we arrive at some special numbers as roots or powers of unit. We extend this product to cycles as oriented circles and to pairs of circles by using the algebra of octonions. Three applications of the given pro...
