Abstract According to orthodoxy, there are two basic moods of supposition: indicative and subjunctive. The most popular formalizations the corresponding norms suppositional judgement given by Bayesian conditionalization Lewisian imaging, respectively. It is well known that can be generalized (via Jeffrey conditionalization) provide a model for partial supposition. This raises question whether imaging likewise ‘partial subjunctive supposition’. present article casts doubt on natural generalizations able plausible account supposition .

Editor—I continue to be confounded by the use of target-controlled propofol infusion (TCI) dosing paradigm as an accepted basis for presenting the scientific study in anaesthesia journals without specific documentation of instantaneous and total dose infusion rates, in conjunction with body weight and duration of infusion at the study point.

متن کاملThe correlation between relatives on the supposition of genomic imprinting.
Standard genetic analyses assume that reciprocal heterozygotes are, on average, phenotypically identical. If a locus is subject to genomic imprinting, however, this assumption does not hold. We incorporate imprinting into the standard quantitative-genetic model for two alleles at a single locus, deriving expressions for the additive and dominance components of genetic variance, as well as measu...
متن کاملReconsidering the miracle argument on the supposition of transient underdetermination
In this paper, I will show that the Miracle Argument is unsound if one assumes a certain form of transient underdetermination. For this aim, I will first discuss and formalize several variants of underdetermination, especially that of transient underdetermination, by means of measure theory. I will then formalize a popular and persuasive form of the Miracle Argument that is based on “use novelt...
متن کاملHonesty in Partial Logic
We propose an epistemic logic in which knowledge is fully introspective and implies truth, although truth need not imply epistemic possibility. The logic is presented in sequential format and is interpreted in a natural class of partial models, called balloon models. We examine the notions of honesty and circumscription in this logic: What is the state of an agent that ‘only knows φ’ and which ...
