| Abstract |
This article provides a discussion of the principle of transmission
of evidential support across entailment from the perspective
of belief revision theory in the AGM tradition. After outlining
and briefly defending a small number of basic principles of belief
change, which include a number of belief contraction analogues of
the Darwiche-Pearl postulates for iterated revision, a proposal is then
made concerning the connection between evidential beliefs and belief
change policies in rational agents. This proposal is found to be
suffcient to establish the truth of a much-discussed intuition regarding
transmission failure.
