- Double-weighted statement
- This is a substantial contribution to Bayesian epistemology and the foundations of probability. It is the culmination of seven years of work and the main output from a four-year ERC-funded project. It is the first book-length treatment of the accuracy-first approach to the epistemology of uncertain belief. It represented the state of the art at the time and remains the standard reference for the approach. It presents the author's conception of epistemology, as well as many central arguments and results of the approach, including novel arguments for particular ways of measuring credal inaccuracy and for central norms of Bayesian epistemology.
