Chances, credences and counterfactual probabilities:
Workshop on probability and determinism
May 31 - June 1 2017
Organized by Nenad Filipovic and Vladan Djordjevic
Subject: (In)compatibilism of chance and determinism. Are there other concepts of objective probability compatible with determinism? Talks will be related to the main types of answers:
I) the concept of chance is not compatible with determinism because the role we expect that chances play in relation with other concepts (credence, laws, etc) cannot be fulfilled unless chances take only extreme values.
II) the concept of chance is compatible with determinism because probabilities which play roles in special sciences such as classical statistical mechanics and evolutionary biology cannot be credences, so these probabilities must be chances.
III) the concept of chance is not compatible with determinism, but probabilities which play roles in special sciences are not credences. They are another kind of objective probabilities – counterfactual probabilities.
IV) the concept of chance is compatible with determinism, but probabilities which play roles in special sciences are not credences. They are another kind of objective probabilities – counterfactual probabilities.
