  • From Kolmogorov, to Popper, to Renyi: There's No Escaping Humphreys' Paradox (When Generalized)
    'Oxford University Press (OUP)', 2020
    Co-Authors: Lyon Aidan
    Abstract:

    Humphreys� Paradox (Humphreys 1985) can be solved if propensity theorists (i) adopt R�nyi�s 1955 Probability Axiom system as the correct Axiom system for propensities and (ii) maintain that there are no backwards propensities in the world. A similar move can be used to solve Milne�s Problem (Milne 1985)�another common objection to the propensity interpretation. That�s the good news. However, Humphreys� Paradox and Milne�s Problem are just two special cases of a much more general problem, and this problem causes trouble even for propensity theorists who accept (i) and (ii). That�s the bad news
