Discussing Cox's work is on-topic for this list...
Okay, I'll get a copy and read it.
Let me tell you one research project that interests me re Cox and
subjective probability:
Justifying Probability Theory as
I don't know of any work explicitly addressing this sort of issue, do
you?
No, none that address Cox and AI directly, but I suspect one is
forthcoming perhaps from you. Yes? :)
There is a literature on Cox and AI. For example,

Interpretation-wise, Cox followed Keynes pretty closely. Keynes had
his own eccentric view of probability, which held among other things
that a single number was not enough information to capture a judgment
of uncertainty (and I agree with this). However, even so, Cox's
Theorem does

Although I don't yet know much about Cox, (Amazon is shipping his book to
me), I have studied a bit about
In Novamente, we use entities called indefinite probabilities,
which are described in a paper to appear in the AGIRI Workshop
Proceedings later this year...
Roughly speaking an indefinite probability is a quadruple (L,U,b,N)
with interpretation
The probability is b that after I make N

Cox's axioms and de Finetti's subjective probability approach,

arguments as to why probability theory is the optimal way to reason
under conditions of uncertainty. However, given limited computational
