Title: Nick Smith
Problems of Precision in Bayesian Epistemology and Fuzzy Theories of
Vagueness
A common objection to theories of vagueness based on fuzzy logics centres
on the idea that assigning a single numerical degree of truth -- a real
number between 0 and 1 -- to each vague statement is excessively precise.
A common objection to Bayesian epistemology centres on the idea that
assigning a single numerical degree of belief -- a real number between 0
and 1 -- to each proposition is excessively precise. In this talk I
explore possible parallels between these objections. In particular I argue
that the only good argument along these lines against fuzzy theories of
vagueness does not translate into a good argument against Bayesian
epistemology.
