Abstract

This article connects recent work in formal epistemology to work in economics and com- puter science. Analysing the Dutch Book Arguments, Epistemic Utility Theory and Objec- tive Bayesian Epistemology we discover that formal epistemologists employ the same argu- ment structure as economists and computer scientists. Since similar approaches often have similar problems and have shared solutions, opportunities for cross-fertilisation abound.
