A Critique of Van Fraassen's Voluntaristic Epistemology
SynthÈse, 1994Van Fraassen's epistemology is forged from two commitments, one to a type of Bayesianism and the other to what he terms voluntarism.

Full Belief and Probability: Comments on Van Fraassen

Recently, Patrick Maher has pointed out that to identify full belief with probability equal to 1 presents ...
