Abstract

Recent work in the Everett interpretation has suggested that the problem of probability can be solved by understanding probability in terms of rationality. However, there are two problems relating to probability in Everett—one practical, the other epistemic—and the rationality-based program directly addresses only the practical problem. One might therefore worry that the problem of probability is only ‘half solved’ by this approach. This paper aims to dispel that worry: a solution to the epistemic problem follows from the rationality-based solution to the practical problem.
