Trouble 2 s for Bayesian Formal Epistemology? A Response to Horgan
Res Philosophica 95 (1):189-197 (2017)
Abstract
This paper responds to Terry Horgan’s recent critique of Bayesian formal epistemology. I argue that each of Horgan’s criticisms misses its mark when Bayesianism is viewed as putting forward an inductive logic of confidences. Along the way, I explore the nature, scope, and limits of a defensible brand of Bayesianism.Author's Profile
