Richard Jeffrey is beyond dispute one of the most distinguished and
influential philosophers working in the field of decision theory
and the theory of knowledge. His work is distinctive in showing the
interplay of epistemological concerns with probability and utility
theory. Not only has he made use of standard probabilistic and
decision theoretic tools to clarify concepts of evidential support
and informed choice, he has also proposed significant modifications
of the standard Bayesian position in order that it provide a better
fit with actual human experience. Probability logic is viewed not
as a source of judgment but as a framework for explaining the
implications of probabilistic judgments and their mutual
compatability. This collection of essays spans a period of some 35
years and includes what have become some of the classic works in
the literature. There is also one completely new piece, while in
many instances Jeffrey includes afterthoughts on the older essays.
