The popcorn problem

sobel on evidential decision theory and deliberation-probability dynamics

Ellery Eells

pp. 9-20

Abstract

I defend evidential decision theory and the theory of deliberation-probability dynamics from a recent criticism advanced by Jordan Howard Sobel. I argue that his alleged counterexample to the theories, called the ‘Popcorn Problem’ is not a genuine counterexample.
