We will have more to say in the next section about what credences are and what makes them rational, but for now recall the ˜applicability to rational belief™ criterion: an interpretation should clarify the role that probabilities play in constraining the credences of rational agents.

However, rational credences may strive to track various things.

Applicability to rational belief: an interpretation should clarify the role that probabilities play in constraining the degrees of belief, or credences, of rational agents.

Interpretations of Probability Hájek, Alan 2007

And a further problem remains even after the confirmation function has been chosen: if one's credences are to be based on logical probabilities, they must be relativized to an evidence statement, e.

Interpretations of Probability Hájek, Alan 2007

The arbitrariness problem, moreover, stymies any compelling connection between logical probabilities and rational credences.

Interpretations of Probability Hájek, Alan 2007

They bear a relationship to the credences of rational agents; the concern, as we saw above, is that the relationship is vacuous, and that rather than constraining the credences of a rational agent in an epistemically neutral position, they merely record them.

Interpretations of Probability Hájek, Alan 2007

Such sentiments — for the half-credences of which I speak have never the full force of thought — such sentiments are seldom thoroughly stifled unless by reference to the doctrine of chance, or, as it is technically termed, the Calculus of Probabilities.

While the only omission that has been made, namely, that of the utensils and ornaments of the Mediæval Church (with the exception of the few such as altars, credences, piscinas, and sedilias, which belong to architectural structure and decoration), is a portion of the work which all must admit to have been foreign to a
