Modification
Theories To Accept
- Sufficient Reason (Palider-2019): An agent takes theory A to be a sufficient reason for (accepting) theory B iff the following four conditions are met:
(1) The agent accepts A.
(2) The agent accepts that A → B.
(3) The agent employs ε.
(4) The agent accepts (ε, A, A→B) →ε (Should accept B).
- Reason (Palider-2019): An agent takes theory A to be a reason for theory B iff the agent accepts that A→B, employs ε, and accepts (ε, A, A→B) →ε (Should accept B).
- Support (Palider-2019): An agent takes theory A to be supporting theory B iff the agent accepts A and accepts that A→B.
- Normative Inference (Palider-2019): An agent takes theory A to normatively infer theory B iff the agent accepts A, accepts that A→B, and accepts (ε, A, A→B) →ε (Should accept B).
