Abstract
This chapter provides a discussion of Jeffrey’s probability kinematics and F.P. semantics. We discuss Jeffrey’s postulate and compare Jeffrey’s commutative chaining of independent events with F.P. segmentation of independent events. Against this background, we discuss the redesign of the axiomatic basis of probability kinematics. Furthermore, we will discuss the subjectivist concept of desirabilities and propose a fine-grained investigation of desirabilities after partial update. Furthermore, we will investigate the correspondence between Donkin’s principle and Jeffrey’s postulate. It turns out that Donkin’s principle and Jeffrey’s postulate are equivalent.
