书目名称 | Degrees of Belief | 编辑 | Franz Huber,Christoph Schmidt-Petri | 视频video | | 概述 | This is the only anthology also targetting non-researchers in the fast-growing field of formal epistemology, making it suitable as teaching tool.Distinguished authors introduce the major theories of d | 丛书名称 | Synthese Library | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | .The idea that belief comes in degrees is based on the observation that we are more certain of some things than of others. Various theories try to give accounts of how measures of this confidence do or ought to behave, both as far as the internal mental consistency of the agent as well as his betting, or other, behaviour is concerned....This anthology is the first book to give a balanced overview of these theories. It also explicitly relates these debates to more traditional concerns of the philosophy of language and mind, and epistemic logic, namely how belief simpliciter does or ought to behave. The paradigmatic theory, probabilism (which holds that degrees of belief ought to satisfy the axioms of probability theory) is given most attention, but competing theories, such as Dempster-Shafer theory, possibility theory, and AGM belief revision theory are also considered. Each of these approaches is represented by one of its major proponents....The papers are specifically written to target advanced undergraduate students with a background in formal methods and beginning graduate students, but they will also serve as first point of reference for academics new to the area...."This is a | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | 关键词 | Belief; Degrees of Belief; Dempster-Shafer; Formal Epistemology; Formal Representations of Belief; John L | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-9198-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-3718-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-9198-8Series ISSN 0166-6991 Series E-ISSN 2542-8292 | issn_series | 0166-6991 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 |
