Title
Objective Bayesianism with predicate languages
Abstract
Objective Bayesian probability is often dened over rather simple do- mains, e.g., nite event spaces or propositional languages. This paper investigates the extension of objective Bayesianism to rst-order logical languages. It is argued that the objective Bayesian should choose a prob- ability function, from all those that satisfy constraints imposed by back- ground knowledge, that is closest to a particular frequency-induced proba- bility function which generalises the = 0 function of Carnap's continuum of inductive methods.
