The author advocates formal justificational pluralism, suggesting that it is reasonable to use various formal tools, e.g. different \"scoring rules,\" in arguments for synchronic and diachronic norms. Leszek Wroński first examines various occasions on which modern formal epistemology fails to live up to its \"formal\" label. Among the topics considered next are: the Dutch Book Theorem and Arguments (which fails according to the author), a novel version of the Principal Principle, and a constructive approach to higher order probabilities. The author argues then that the best method for dealing with various belief update problems is that of minimizing inverse relative entropy, and defends the claim that for evaluating an agent's credal state at a single moment the Brier Score seems to be the way to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeszek Wroński is an assistant professor in the Institute of Philosophy of Jagiellonian University in Kraków. His previous book, a study of the prospects of various formulations of the Common Cause Principle, was published as \u003ci\u003eReichenbach's Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e in 2014. He is mainly interested in formal epistemology and philosophy of probability, having authored and coauthored papers on probabilistic causality and the branching space-time theory. He sings in a vocal ensemble specializing in the Baroque period and leads one whose sole period of interest is the Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.4 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 21, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47578638876893,"sku":"9788323344575","price":87.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/xmtDbqT_ns9788323344575.webp?v=1773508718","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/in-good-form-arguing-for-epistemic-norms-of-credence-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
