Beliefs in Conditionals vs . Conditional Beliefs
On the basis of impossibility results on probability, belief revision, and conditionals, it is argued that conditional beliefs differ from beliefs in conditionals qua mental states. Once this is established, it will be pointed out in which sense conditional beliefs are still conditional, even though they may lack conditional contents, and why it is permissible to still regard them as beliefs, a...
متن کاملEpistemic Conditionals and Conditional Epistemics
There has been a murder in the mansion. There are, and we all know that this is so, only three suspects: the gardener, the driver, and the butler. We believe, and we have our reasons for so believing, that if the gardener did not do it, then the driver did. We share belief in this particular conditional, and this conditional is of a particular kind. It is what Quine calls an ‘‘ordinary indicati...
متن کاملConditionals, Conditional Probabilities, and Conditionalization
Philosophers investigating the interpretation and use of conditional sentences have long been intrigued by the intuitive correspondence between the probability of a conditional ‘if A, then C’ and the conditional probability of C, given A. Attempts to account for this intuition within a general probabilistic theory of belief, meaning and use have been plagued by a danger of trivialization, which...
متن کاملConditional preferences and practical conditionals
I argue that taking the Practical Conditionals Thesis (PCT) seriously demands a new understanding of the semantics of such conditionals. Practical Conditionals Thesis: A practical conditional [if A][ought(B)] expresses B’s conditional preferability given A Paul Weirich has argued that the conditional utility of a state of affairs B on A is to be identified as the degree to which it is desired u...
متن کاملIterated revision and minimal change of conditional beliefs
We describe a model of iterated belief revision that extends the AGM theory of revision to account for the effect of a revision on the conditional beliefs of an agent. In particular, this model ensures that an agent makes as few changes as possible to the conditional component of its belief set. Adopting the Ramsey test, minimal conditional revision provides acceptance conditions for arbitrary ...
