33. Book chapter by Jon Williamson
Although Williamson is not the kind of philosopher I would trust to guide me through a minefield (and what else is a philosopher's duty?), the following is interesting as an introduction to the various interpretations of probability.
J. Williamson (2006). Philosophies of probability: objective Bayesianism and its challenges, in Andrew Irvine (ed.): Handbook of the Philosophy of Mathematics, Volume 4 of the Handbook of the Philosophy of Science, Elsevier.
The reference comes from Williamson's website, yet it may well be wrong in the light of this.
Note also that Williamson's usage of the term `objective Bayesianism' differs from the common one in Statistics. Thus his prototype of an objective Bayesian is Jaynes, not Bernardo. It is unclear whether Williamson would call Bernardo a Bayesian at all.
