The main topic of the book is how to argue for formal epistemic
norms of credence. The author advocates formal justificational
pluralism, suggesting that it is reasonable to use various formal
tools, e.g. different "scoring rules," in arguments for synchronic
and diachronic norms. Leszek Wronski first examines various
occasions on which modern formal epistemology fails to live up to
its "formal" label. Among the topics considered next are: the Dutch
Book Theorem and Arguments (which fails according to the author), a
novel version of the Principal Principle, and a constructive
approach to higher order probabilities. The author argues then that
the best method for dealing with various belief update problems is
that of minimizing inverse relative entropy, and defends the claim
that for evaluating an agent's credal state at a single moment the
Brier Score seems to be the way to go.
