Douglas, Heather. 2000. “Inductive Risk and Values in Science,” Philosophy of Science. The paper that brought the Rudner/Jeffrey debate back into philosophy of science. Douglas argues, pace Jeffrey, that value judgments need to be made prior to hypothesis acceptance and rejection.Google Scholar
Steel, Daniel. 2015. “Acceptance, Values, and Probability,” Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A. Argues that on the right understanding of the role that credences play in science, we ought to think of scientists accepting or rejecting probability assignments, rather than simply coming to have them. On this view, Steel argues, acceptance and rejection of a probability assignment itself involves inductive risk.Google Scholar
