本文考察了最近文献中出现的关于大卫·刘易斯主要原理的两个错误。这些特殊的错误值得研究,有几个原因:导致这些错误的想法是自然的,这些错误产生的原则是站不住脚的,这些错误导致了对可接受性和时间的作用的严重误解。在纠正这些错误之后,本文讨论了时间和可采性的正确作用。有了这些结果,论文的结论是,一种建立机会-信任关系的方法比它的竞争对手具有明显的优势。1.引言2.引言背景2.1。机率函数2.2。机会与信任的关系2.建议3.评估第一个错误3.1.第一个错误是3.2。激励第一个错误3.3。为什么第一个错误是有问题的。第一个错误的后果4.4.可否受理的作用。水晶球4.2。使用情况4.3。PP14.4的强弱。刘易斯和可接受性。评估第二个错误5.1。第二个错误是5.2。激励第二个错误5.3。为什么第二个错误是有问题的。《时代》的角色。评估机会-信任关系6.1。以刘易斯的接地论证6.2为例。例二:一般性的接地辩论6.3.获胜者介绍背景2.1。机率函数2.2。机会与信任的关系2.假设机会函数,假设机会-信任关系,假设评估第一个错误3.1。第一个错误是3.2。激励第一个错误3.3。为什么第一个错误是有问题的。第一错误的后果、第一错误的动机、第一错误为什么是有问题的第一错误的后果、第一错误的容许性作用4.1。水晶球4.2。使用情况4.3。PP14.4的强弱。刘易斯和可采性水晶球的有用性,PP1刘易斯和可采性评估第二个错误5.1。第二个错误是5.2。激励第二个错误5.3。为什么第二个错误是有问题的。时间的作用第二个错误激发第二个错误为什么第二个错误是有问题的时间评估机会-信任关系的作用以刘易斯的接地论证6.2为例。例二:一般性的接地辩论6.3.第一课:刘易斯的接地气论证第二课:一般接地气论点
This paper examines two mistakes regarding David Lewis’ Principal Principle that have appeared in the recent literature. These particular mistakes are worth looking at for several reasons: The thoughts that lead to these mistakes are natural ones, the principles that result from these mistakes are untenable, and these mistakes have led to significant misconceptions regarding the role of admissibility and time. After correcting these mistakes, the paper discusses the correct roles of time and admissibility. With these results in hand, the paper concludes by showing that one way of formulating the chance–credence relation has a distinct advantage over its rivals. 1. Introduction2. Background 2.1.
