Inductive Logic: A Bayesian Approach

Autor Jürgen Landes, Soroush Rafiee Rad, Jon Williamson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – mai 2027
This book offers the first systematic treatment of what is perhaps the most promising contender for a canonical inductive logic: objective Bayesian inductive logic. The book presents the logic in detail and sets out a range of novel results that demonstrate its conceptual and practical viability. Despite the fact that both deductive logic and standard inductive logics are undecidable, Bayesian networks can be used to draw inferences in the logic, with the potential for computational tractability. Beginning with the necessary theoretical background in inductive logic, the book goes on to define and motivate the objective Bayesian inductive logic and explore quantifier-free inferences as an important special case, demonstrating decidability and introducing Bayesian network inference methods. These results are then extended to a large class of quantified inferences, showing that the logic generalises Bayesian and Jeffrey conditionalisation and considering connections to belief revision. The text then concludes by developing further methods for drawing inferences in the logic, discussing ways in which the logic may be refined and posing some open questions for further research. Inductive Logic: A Bayesian Approach, is aimed at anyone with an interest in formal approaches to inference under uncertainty, including formal epistemologists as well as logicians working in philosophy, computer science or mathematics with a working knowledge of probability.This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence.

Notă biografică

Jürgen Landes is a philosopher specialising in epistemology, philosophy of science, logic, and the foundations of artificial intelligence. He received his PhD in Mathematical Logic from the University of Manchester and subsequently obtained qualifications in mathematics and philosophy. His research combines formal epistemology with philosophy of science and applications in medicine and AI. He has held academic positions and taught in Germany, the UK, France, and Italy. He is Editor-in-Chief and founder of the diamond open access Journal of Mathematical Philosophy.Soroush Rafiee Rad's research interests are in mathematical logic and, in particular, inductive logic and probabilistic inference, logics of information dynamics, and quantum logic. He is currently a research fellow at the University of St Andrews and has held previous research positions at the Dutch Institute for Emergent Phenomena, the Institute for Logic, Language, and Computation, the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, and Bayreuth University.Jon Williamson's research interests lie in the philosophies of science, medicine, AI and law, as well as epistemology, metaphysics and logic. He worked at King's College, London, the London School of Economics, and the University of Kent before moving to the University of Manchester in 2024.
