Rationality Postulates for Induction
I study the process of inductive hypothesis formation from two perspectives: finding general rules that explain given specific evidence, and finding general rules that are confirmed by the evidence. Both forms of hypothesis formation are axiomatised on the metalevel of consequence relations, which provides us with a set of rationality postulates for various forms of induction.
متن کاملWhither Koch’s Postulates?
S pecific etiology was one of the most powerful and productive ideas in the entire history of medicine. Replacing a shadowy intellectual landscape of humors and miasmata with the notion that particular diseases had particular causes, it marked the beginning of the end for both diagnostic imprecision and clinical impotence. Within the domain we now recognize as microbiology, the prime mover was,...
متن کاملOn Generalizing the AGM Postulates
The AGM theory is the dominating paradigm in the field of belief change but makes some non-elementary assumptions which disallow its application to certain logics. In this paper, we recast the theory by dropping most such assumptions; we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for a logic to support operators which are compatible with our generalized version of the theory and show that ou...
متن کاملPostulates for Conditional Belief Revision
In this paper, we present a scheme of postulates for revising epistemic states by condit ional beliefs. These postulates are supported mainly by fol lowing the specific, non-classical nature of conditionals, and the aim of preserving condi t ional beliefs is achieved by studying specific interactions between conditionals, represented properly by two relations. Because one of the postulates clai...
متن کاملThe postulates of gravitational thermodynamics.
The general principles and logical structure of a thermodynamic formalism that incorporates strongly self-gravitating systems are presented. This framework generalizes and simplifies the formulation of thermodynamics developed by Callen. The definition of extensive variables, the homogeneity properties of intensive parameters, and the fundamental problem of gravitational thermodynamics are disc...
