Greetings all,
This coming Monday, 1.00-2.30 our new Post-doc, Aidan Lyon will talk
to us about "A Third Concept of Probability", in the philosophy common
room.
Abstract: I argue that we need to identify a third concept of
probability that is distinct from chance and credence. (And to be
clear from the outset: this third concept of probability is not a
concept of logical probability.) I argue that when we look closely at
the conceptual role probability plays in some scientific theories, it
becomes clear that neither chance nor credence are appropriate to play
this role, and so there must be some other concept of probability that
is. I then suggest some possible analyses of this third concept of
probability.
See you all there...
