On the logical structure of de Finetti's notion of event / T. Flaminio, L. Godo, H. Hosni. - In: JOURNAL OF APPLIED LOGIC. - ISSN 1570-8683. - 12:3(2014), pp. 279-301. [10.1016/j.jal.2014.03.001]
Abstract:
This paper sheds new light on the subtle relation between probability and logic by (i) providing a logical development of Bruno de Finetti’s conception of events and (ii) suggesting that the subjective nature of de Finetti’s interpretation of probability emerges in a clearer form against such a logical background. By making explicit the epistemic structure which underlies what we call Choice-based probability we show that whilst all rational degrees of belief must be probabilities, the converse doesn’t hold: some probability values don’t represent decision- relevant quantifications of uncertainty.
