Many Bayesians are committed to some version or other of the Principle of Indifference, which holds that in certain situations one's degrees of belief should be Principle of Indifference can thus be motivated in terms of epistemic rationality: supposing that epistemic rationality requires minimising worst-case expected inaccuracy, B and a belief function B is compatible with evidence just in case B ∈ E, the set of to the idea that degrees of belief should be calibrated to chances (a principle common to both the pragmatic approach and the epistemic approach under consideration if a belief function is epistemically rational then it satisfies Principle of Indifference According to BE, any belief function that is compatible with evidence is epistemically rational; there is no further requirement that one's degrees of belief should ./cache/work_r7bloibmc5gntktovuotoh56ou.pdf ./txt/work_r7bloibmc5gntktovuotoh56ou.txt
