Degrees of belief as basis for scientific reasoning
Franz Huber · Sammelpunkt - Elektronisch archivierte Theorie · 2003
Bayesianism is the claim that scientific reasoning is probabilistic, and that probabilities are adequately interpreted as an agent"s actual subjective degrees of belief measured by her betting behaviour. Confirmation is one important aspect of scientific reasoning. The thesis of this paper is the following: Given that scientific reasoning (and thus confirmation) is at all probabilistic, the subjective interpretation of probability has to be given up in order to get right confirmation, and thus scientific reasoning in general.
