The Sure Thing Principle
PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1982:719 - 730 (1982)
Abstract
The Sure Thing Principle (1), Dominance Principle (2), and Strong Independence Axiom (3) have been attacked and defended in various ways over the past 30 years. In the course of a survey of some of that literature, it is argued that these principles are acceptable iff suitably qualified.My notes
