    Abstract : In this essay I defend the notion of deductive explanation mainly against two types of putative counterexamples: those found in genuinely indeterministic systems and those found in complex dynamic systems. Using Railton's notions of explanatory information and ideal explanatory text, deductivism is defended in an indeterministic setting. READ MORE

  5. 3. A Unified Framework for Indeterminate Probabilities and Utilities

    Abstract : In classic decision theory, the different alternatives in a decision situation are merely objects of choice, and it is assumed that a decision maker can assign precise numerical values corresponding to the true value of each consequence, as well as precise numerical probabilities for their occurrences. However, in real-life situations, the ordering of alternatives from most to least preferred is often a delicate matter and an adequate mathematical representation is crucial. READ MORE
