Speaker: Patrick Girard (Philosophy)
Topic: “Belief revision and the limit assumption: Tension between static belief and belief dynamics”
When: 2:30-3:30, Tuesday 13 August
Where: Room 5115, OGGB
Abstract:
…so there’s this assumption called the limit assumption which basically says that doxastic orders are well-founded. If you only consider beliefs as being static, the assumption is philosophically implausible. However, when you do belief change, than it becomes crucial for a lot of doxastic operations. Without it, you can’t be sure that revising a belief set returns a belief set. Which considerations is more important? Static or dynamic? I will try and explain what that all means.
