Project Description
This page is for my 2-year Horizon 2020 project, 'Degrees of Belief', which began in February 2017. The research goal of the project is to develop a novel account of the nature and representational content of the degrees of belief of ordinary, non-ideal human beings. Specifically, the project will draw on recent work on the formal foundations of decision theory, comparative probabilities, imprecise credences, and recent empirical evidence regarding decision-making and probabilistic reasoning, for the development and defense of a broadly functionalist account of degrees of belief.
