This project is part of a 5 years &#8220;Excellence Scheme&#8221; which has been awarded in 2017 to The Department of Philosophy at the University of Milan &#8220;La Statale&#8221; in recognition of its leading role in research and innovative teaching.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Project description<\/h3>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The successful candidate will work on the &#8220;Logical Foundations and\u00a0 Applications of Depth-Bounded Probability&#8221; project. Its overarching\u00a0 goal of is a formal theory of uncertainty quantification,\u00a0 argumentation and decision-making which is both epistemologically\u00a0 robust, and practically applicable. The motivating idea of this\u00a0 project is the observation that real-world reasoners possess limited\u00a0 resources. However, standard probabilistic methods systematically\u00a0 disregard this feature and impose constraints that realistic\u00a0 forecasters may never be able to attain. This project takes up the\u00a0 challenge of developing a logically sound, computationally feasible\u00a0 and therefore practically applicable theory of rational reasoning and\u00a0 decision making under uncertainty.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>For more precise details and bibliographic references please see<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>D\u2019Agostino, M., T.
