PHL332H1 Lecture Notes - Supervenience, Coherentism
Document Summary
Supervenience thesis: if the descriptive cases are identical so does the evaluative property come to same conclusion on the evaluation. Pg 44: bel (p) ev (p) > ev (~p) *necessary but not sufficient. Clifford"s principle is wrong when wrong means morally wrong action. But clifford"s principle might be right when it"s restricted to belief from evidential point (?) Huber: ought bel (p) ev (p) > r [threshold] You should believe something just in case that the degrees of belief are high. Bel (p) degree of bel (p) > . 95. For any number < 1, we have an inconsistent sense of beliefs, if we form beliefs based on high probabilities. Bel (~n) > bel (~a) & bel (~b) > bel (a &b) which is a contradiction to pr (1v2v100)=1. Each ticket is losing, so we believe that no tickets is winning which cant be true. Pg 47 gep is similar to clifford"s principle.
