Philosophies of Probability: Objective Bayesianism and its Challenges
In A. Irvine (ed.), Handbook of the Philosophy of Mathematics. Elsevier (2009)
Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of the major interpretations of probability followed by an outline of the objective Bayesian interpretation and a discussion of the key challenges it faces. I discuss the ramifications of interpretations of probability and objective Bayesianism for the philosophy of mathematics in general.Author's Profile
