Coherence and probability
a probabilistic account of coherence
pp. 59-91
Abstract
I develop a probabilistic account of coherence, and argue that at least in certain respects it is preferable to (at least some of) the main extant probabilistic accounts of coherence: (i) Igor Douven and Wouter Meijs's account, (ii) Branden Fitelson's account, (iii) Erik Olsson's account, and (iv) Tomoji Shogenji's account. Further, I relate the account to an important, but little discussed, problem for standard varieties of coherentism, viz., the "Problem of Justified Inconsistent Beliefs."
