In Defense of Comparability: Reply to Carlson and Risberg

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In “The Case for Comparability,” we argue that every comparative expression “F$F$” obeys Comparability: if two things are at least as F$F$ as themselves, then one of them must be at least as F$F$ as the other. One of our arguments appeals to the apparent validity of the Strong Monotonicity schema: x$x$ is F$F$; y$y$ is not F$F$; so, x$x$ is ...

Virtuous Deferral

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Virtue epistemology has long struggled with the “Creditability Dilemma”: how can knowledge gained through deference be creditable to the knower if it primarily depends on others’ cognitive work?

Graphoid properties of epistemic irrelevance and independence

Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, 2005
This paper is based on the theory of coherent lover precisions, which represents one of the theories of the imprecise probability. The credal set is a second model for the imprecise probability, which is used here. Two concepts of the independence are concerned: the epistemic irrelevance and the epistemic independence.
