Reasoning with uncertain knowledge is a growing area of interest,
involving several tendencies, such as reasoning with non-standard
theories of probability (e.g., theories of probability based on
non-classical logics) and combining argumentation systems with
probabilities or probabilistic semantics. All such tendencies and
areas of investigation are naturally generalized to possibility
systems and other credal calculi. This poses new and intriguing
questions on the philosophy of probability and credal calculi in
general, amplifying the discussions around the correct formal theories
of probability and on the interpretations of probability, among the
classical, logical, frequentist, propensity, and subjectivist (and
possibly others). Dilemmas and paradoxes in probabilities and credal
calculi are also a relevant area of research. This Special Issue
intends to contribute to the state-of-the-art of such research topics
by gathering together the contribution of authors in interconnected
areas including logical, mathematical and conceptual aspects.


Submission


Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering
and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to
go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the
deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted)
and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research
articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For
planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be
sent to the Editorial Office for announcement, on this website.


Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor
be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference

peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant
information for submission of manuscripts is available on the
Instructions for Authors page. Philosophies is an international
peer-reviewed Open Access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

All papers are invited in the following (non-exclusive) topics:

-interpretations of probability, possibility and other credal calculi
-philosophy of probability, possibility and other credal calculi
-probabilistic and possibilistic argumentation and inference
-probability, possibility and uncertain reasoning
-paradoxes in probability, possibility and other credal calculi
