VAN FRAASSEN ON EMPIRICISM VERSUS PRAGMATISM IN EPISTEMOLOGY

In his paper "Belief and the Will", Bastian van Fraassen presents a
framework for the understanding of Empiricist epistemology, and this is
the model of Bayesian information processing. Analyzing this framework,
he continues, makes us realize that one also has to posit that the
Empiricist owes a certain sort of commitment to his own epistemic
stances. And this in turn raises the issue of how the Empiricist could
make practical decisions concerning what his correct beliefs should be.
I argue, however, that the model of Bayesian information processing
cannot in general serve the purpose of being a model for Empiricist
epistemology. My argument employs a close inspection of the implicit
epistemological presuppositions behind the Bayesian model. It also
involves a discussion of the implications of the so-called Harsanyi
doctrine for the formulation of the Bayesian decision problem.
