The Lottery Paradox and the Pragmatics of Belief
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: The thesis that high probability suffices for rational belief, while initially plausible, is known to face the Lottery Paradox. The present paper proposes an amended version of that thesis which escapes the Lottery Paradox. The amendment is argued to be plausible on independent grounds.
