Probabilities in branching structures

Thomas Müller

pp. 109-121

Abstract

A common, natural view about probabilities, shared by philosophers of diverse persuasions, is that probabilities are graded possibilities. On this view, which I will presuppose, there are no probabilities without underlying possibilities, and there is room for different notions of probability at least to the extent that there are different underlying notions of possibility.
