Argumentation and Belief Updating in Social Networks: A Bayesian Model
Human rationality involves arguing for one’s beliefs as well as revising those beliefs in the face of good reasons to do so. An important problem in computer science and philosophical logic is to find models that combine argumentation and belief updating in one formal framework. In this article, we present the Laputa model which attempts to do precisely this. Laputa differs from some other fram...
متن کامل(Non)complementary updating of belief in two hypotheses.
Past research has led to the conclusion that two competing hypotheses are represented dependently, and confidence in them is updated in a complementary manner. It is argued here that confidence in two hypotheses can be represented either dependently or independently. Changes in confidence in the former case are always complementary, but changes in the latter case are complementary only under ce...

In this paper I show that, under certain conditions, an equally puzzling result arises: that is, disagreement ca...

One prominent finding in this line of research is that when people make a judgment about the Trolley dilemma after considering the Footbridge dilemma, they are significantly less likely to decide it is acceptable to redirect a train to save five people. Additionally, this ordering ef...

In this paper we seek to offer an essentially sociological explanation of paranoia by way of a detailed examination of the case of an unmarried, ex-school-teacher who for the past 30 years has clung stubbornly to the belief that she is the victim of an ill-defined group of conspirators with the power to control her thoughts and actions. Taking as our starting point Lemert's seminal 1962 paper, ...
