Dear all This term, together with Yang Liu (Columbia and CSER), I'll be running a graduate seminar on decision theory. We'll meet Thursdays 11-12:30, in the Philosophy Common Room in the Faculty.
We aim to cover some controversies in modern decision theory, construed broadly so as to include formal epistemology and related areas in the philosophy of probability. We also hope that participants will be willing to present their own work to the seminar. We meet from 12pm-130pm on Thursdays in the Graduate Common Room. Our first meeting is on THURSDAY 14 JANUARY AT 12PM in the GRADUATE COMMON ROOM and we'll be reading two papers on fuzzy belief: 1. A. Elga, 2010. Subjective probabilities should be sharp. Philosophers' Imprint 10/5. (+ errata). See: https://www.princeton.edu/~adame/papers/sharp/elga-subjective-probabilities-should-be-sharp.pdf https://www.princeton.edu/~adame/papers/sharp/sharp-errata.pdf 2. S. Bradley and K. Steele. 2014. Should subjective probabilities be sharp? Episteme 11/3. See: http://journals.cambridge.org/download.php?file=%2F25739_DFE1F9A6FDB88FC0B56111114F13B2AD_journals__EPI_EPI11_03_S1742360014000082a.pdf&cover=Y&code=b68de1615257952500828a47df480146 At this first meeting we'll also discuss possible directions for the rest of term. Everybody is welcome, and anyone who wants to present work in progress or a completed paper should contact me or Yang.
