Why propensities cannot be probabilities, Paul Humphreys proposed accounts of probability are usually required to satisfy the standard axioms of the probability calculus. Because of the fundamentally causal nature of propensities, they cannot do this, primarily because in-version formulas such as the multiplication axiom and bayes' theorem do.Ruth Garrett Millikan - 1985 - Philosophical Review 94 (4).
