The Principal Principle does not imply the Principle of Indifference

Think the Principal Principle forces the Principle of Indifference? In this post I argue HLWW's claim is mistaken. I show Condition 1 is provable, but their Condition 2 misreads Lewis's admissibility condition and fails. The Principal Principle can hold without Indifference, so Moderate Subjective Bayesianism survives.
Rolly's Take
Here lies a sanctuary for the intellectually curious—those who thrive in the subtle realms of Bayesian epistemology and question the very fabric of belief systems. This blog speaks to the analytical minds who revel in dissecting complex arguments and who seek clarity amidst philosophical intricacies. It explores the delicate interplay between certainty and doubt, inviting readers to reflect on the nuances of credence and the implications of how we assign value to what we know—or think we know. For the discerning thinker, this space is a thoughtful oasis, where abstract concepts are meticulously unraveled without pretense, leaving you wanting to ponder further.
