Reasoning with limited resources and assigning probabilities to arithmetical statements
Synthese 140 (1-2):97 - 119 (2004)
| Abstract | There are three sections in this paper. The first is a philosophical discussion of the general problem of reasoning under limited deductive capacity. The second sketches a rigorous way of assigning probabilities to statements in pure arithmetic; motivated by the preceding discussion, it can nonetheless be read separately. The third is a philosophical discussion that highlights the shifting contextual character of subjective probabilities and beliefs. | |||||||||
