Probabilism is committed to two theses: 1) Opinion comes in degrees—call them degrees of belief, or credences. 2) The degrees of belief of a rational agent obey the probability calculus. Correspondingly, a natural way to argue for probabilism is: i) to give an account of what degrees of belief are,

متن کاملWhat Are Degrees of Belief?
Probabilism is committed to two theses: 1) Opinion comes in degrees—call them degrees of belief, or credences. 2) The degrees of belief of a rational agent obey the probability calculus. Correspondingly, a natural way to argue for probabilism is: i) to give an account of what degrees of belief are, and then ii) to show that those things should be probabilities, on pain of irrationality. Most of...
متن کاملFrom Degrees of Belief to Beliefs: Lessons from Judgment-Aggregation Theory
What is the relationship between degrees of belief and (all-or-nothing) beliefs? Can the latter be expressed as a function of the former, without running into paradoxes? We reassess this “belief-binarization” problem from the perspective of judgmentaggregation theory. Although some similarities between belief binarization and judgment aggregation have been noted before, the literature contains ...
متن کاملTen claims about fuzzy logic
3. Distinguish between fuzziness as impreciseness (vagueness) and uncertainty as beliefs. The former deals with degrees of truth, the latter with degrees of (un) certainty. The main reason consists in the following: FL may be (and mostly is) truthfunctional; logics of belief are not. FL is a many-valued logic, logic of belief is a kind of modal logic. Caution: non-truth functional FLn is also p...
متن کامل“Survey” of Formal Epistemology: Some Propaganda, and an Example
What is “Formal Epistemology”? Not sure, really. I first heard the term from Sahotra Sarkar in 2003 . It seems that it is quite a broad field, which includes: Ampliative inference (including inductive logic); Game theory and decision theory; Formal learning theory; Formal theories of coherence: Foundations of probability and statistics; Formal approaches to paradoxes of belief and/or act...
