DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Abstract.<em>&nbsp\;</em></strong>This talk&nbsp\;covers: (I)&nbsp\; A short outline of Savage&rsquo\;s system\, (II) A new mathematical technique for handling &ldquo\;partitions with errors&rdquo\; that leads to a simplification that Savage tried but did not succeed in getting\, which leads to the definition of numerically precise probabilities&nbsp\;without the &sigma\;-algebra assumption. (III) Some philosophical analysis of the notion of&nbsp\;<em>idealized&nbsp\;rational agent</em>\,<em>&nbsp\;</em>which is commonly used as a guideline for subjective probabilities.</p>\n<p>Some acquaintance with Savage&rsquo\;s system is helpful\, but (I) is added in order to make for a self-contained presentation. The talk is based on a joint work by the authors. Please email&nbsp\;Robby&nbsp\;for an introductory section of the present draft of the paper.</p>\n<p>More about the seminar&nbsp\;here.</p>\n<p>We will be having dinner right after the meeting at the faculty house. Please let&nbsp\;Robby&nbsp\;know if you will be joining us so that he&nbsp\;can make an appropriate reservation (please be advised that at this point the&nbsp\;university&nbsp\;only agrees to cover the expenses of the speaker and the rapporteur and that the cost for all others is $30\, payable by cash or check).</p>
