Abstract: | With the notable exception of David Lewis, most of those writing on the Sleeping Beauty problem have argued that 1/3 is the
correct answer. Terence Horgan has provided the clearest account of why, contrary to Lewis, Beauty has evidence against the
proposition that the coin comes up heads when she awakens on Monday. In this paper, I argue that Horgan’s proposal fails because
it neglects important facts about epistemic probability. |
