Reconciling probability theory and coherentism

Conal Duddy

pp. 1075-1084

Résumé

Recent results in the literature appear to show that it is impossible for two independent testimonies to jointly raise the probability of a proposition if neither testimony individually has any impact on that probability. I show that these impossibility results do not apply when testimonies agree on incidental details.
