According to Bayesian epistemology, rational learning from
experience is consistent learning, that is learning should
incorporate new information consistently into one's old system of
beliefs. Simon M. Huttegger argues that this core idea can be
transferred to situations where the learner's informational inputs
are much more limited than Bayesianism assumes, thereby
significantly expanding the reach of a Bayesian type of
epistemology. What results from this is a unified account of
probabilistic learning in the tradition of Richard Jeffrey's
'radical probabilism'. Along the way, Huttegger addresses a number
of debates in epistemology and the philosophy of science, including
the status of prior probabilities, whether Bayes' rule is the only
legitimate form of learning from experience, and whether rational
agents can have sustained disagreements. His book will be of
interest to students and scholars of epistemology, of game and
decision theory, and of cognitive, economic, and computer sciences.
