Croyances, Dispositions Et Probabilités (Peirce Et Ramsey)

Abstract

There are two versions of the pragmatic theory of belief as a disposition to act: peirce's theory is associated with an objectivistic view of the theory of probability as a measure of degrees of belief, While ramsey's theory is associated with the subjectivist and bayesian concept of probability. In this paper it is argued that both theories share a functionalist account of belief, As dependent on desire and action, And that the normative character of bayesian decision theory is the best approach for a theory of belief as a disposition to action.
