Objective probability and the assessment of evidence
2003
Law, Probability and Risk
As accounts of evidential reasoning, theories of subjective probability face a serious limitation: they fail to show how features of the world should constrain probability assessments.

The survey highlights various common problems which theories of objective probability must confront.
