Global Probability for Possible Worlds
Majer, Ondrej
In the majority of papers on probability in the framework of possible worlds the existence of a global probability distribution is taken for granted. The aim of the article is to discuss the epistemic aspect of this assumption in the connection to the status assigned to possible worlds. Two questions are discussed in particular: the justification of the global probability distribution and compatibility of the global probability assumption with the structure of the universe of the possible worlds.
Horwich's Conception of Meanings: How to Change his "Deflationary View" into a Non-Trivial Conception
Materna, Pavel
