Bayes’ Theorem & the Nature of Truth: A Probabilistic Epistemology
Mr. Rajesh Pandit, SME, Mathematics and Statistics, Alumnus IISER Kolkata
Abstract
This presentation explores the intersection of Bayesian reasoning and epistemology, proposing Bayes’ Theorem as foundational framework for understanding truth in a probabilistic context. We explore how updating our beliefs when we get new evidence can give us a more flexible and realistic way of understanding knowledge. By thinking of probability as a way to measure how Bayesian reasoning helps us make better decision when we’re not completely sure.
