The Principal Principle and the contingent a priori

Richard Bradley

Economics and Philosophy, 2024, vol. 40, issue 2, 472-477

Abstract: In Chapter 6 of Objects of Credence, Anna Mahtani argues that the opacity of credence raises difficulties for the Principal Principle and proposes a revised principle relating credence and chance that avoids it. In this comment on her book, I both defend Mahtani’s proposed principle against a charge of triviality and argue that the opacity of belief does not threaten the role of chance in guiding credence.
