This chapter begins Part IV of the book, which treats the accuracy arguments for principles that govern how agents should change their credences in the light of new evidence. The chapter considers the synchronic versions of these principles, which govern how a rational agent will plan to update, even though they say nothing about how such an agent will in fact update. The chapter treats Conditionalization in particular.
Keywords: Conditionalization, synchronic rationality, evidence, update rules
