The Enterprise Of Knowledge by Isaac Levi
An Essay on Knowledge, Credal Probability, and Chance
A pragmatic account of inquiry that fuses epistemology, decision theory, and subjective—often imprecise—probability. Knowledge growth is modeled as managing a corpus of accepted statements through evidence-driven expansion and contraction while balancing the risks and costs of error. It defends fallibilism and acceptance rules grounded in credal probability to explain how rational agents navigate uncertainty, maintain consistency, and make value-sensitive choices in the pursuit of truth.
