Acceptance in Bayesian Philosophy of Science
PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1992:153 - 160 (1992)
| Abstract | Can Bayesians make sense of the notion of acceptance? And should they want to? This paper argues that the answer to both questions is yes. While these answers have been defended before, the way of making sense of acceptance offered here differs from what others have proposed, and the reasons given for why Bayesians should want to make sense of acceptance are also different. | |||||||||
