摘要

From 1929 onwards, C. I. Lewis defended the foundationalist claim that judgements of the form ‘x is probable’ only make sense if one assumes there to be a ground y that is certain (where x and y may be beliefs, propositions, or events). Without this assumption, Lewis argues, the probability of x could not be anything other than zero. Hans Reichenbach repeatedly contested Lewis’s idea, calling it “a remnant of rationalism”. The last move in this debate was a challenge by Lewis, defying Reichenbach to produce a regress of probability values that yields a number other than zero. Reichenbach never took up the challenge, but we will meet it on his behalf, as it were. By presenting a series converging to a limit, we demonstrate that x can have a definite and computable probability, even if its justification consists of an infinite number of steps. Next we show the invalidity of a recent riposte of foundationalists that this limit of the series can be the ground of justification. Finally we discuss the question where justification can come from if not from a ground.

Lewis为基础主义者辩护说,“ x可能”形式的判断只有在假设存在确定的y的前提下才有意义(其中x和y可能是信念,命题或事件)。刘易斯认为,没有这个假设,x的概率就不可能是零。汉斯·赖兴巴赫(Hans Reichenbach)反复质疑刘易斯的想法,称其为“理性主义的残余”。这场辩论的最后一步是刘易斯(Lewis)的挑战,他无视赖兴巴赫(Reichenbach)产生的概率值回归,得出的结果不是零。赖兴巴赫从未接受过挑战,但我们将代表他去面对挑战。通过呈现收敛到极限的级数,我们证明x可以具有确定的和可计算的概率,即使x的正当性由无数步组成。接下来,我们证明基础主义者最近的riposte是无效的,因为该系列的这一限制可以作为理由的依据。最后,我们讨论了一个问题,即如果不是从地面来的话,证明可以来自哪里。
