Depragmatized Dutch Book Arguments*
Recently a number of authors have tried to avoid the failures of traditional Dutch book arguments by separating them from pragmatic concerns of avoiding a sure loss. In this paper I examine defenses of this kind by Howson and Urbach, Hellman, and Christensen. I construct rigorous explications of their arguments and show that they are not cogent. I advocate abandoning Dutch book arguments in fav...
متن کاملDutch Book Arguments and Imprecise Probabilities

I define “betting quotient” as the ratio of t...
متن کاملFull Expletive Fuzzy Languages
A word u ∈ A+ is an expletive for a fuzzy language λ if λ(xuy) = λ(xy) for all x, y ∈ A+. A full expletive fuzzy language is a fuzzy language in which the set of expletives is A+. Here we prove that the set of full expletive fuzzy languages is a variety and the associated pseudovariety of semigroups is that of midunit semigroups. Subject Classification: 20M35, 20M07, 68Q45

The software assistant can det...
متن کاملExpletive agreement, evidentiality, and modality in Logooli
We discuss and analyze two subject agreement markers in Logooli (Bantu, Kenya). We show that e(class 9 subject agreement) and ga(class 6 subject agreement) give rise to a variety of apparently evidential or modal meanings when they occur in constructions translated with “expletive” subjects. We propose a treatment of the Logooli data following Matthewson, Rullmann & Davis’s (2007) and Rullmann,...
