Kenny Easwaran is a contemporary American philosopher specializing in formal epistemology, decision theory, and the philosophy of mathematics. He is known for his work on infinitesimal probabilities, Bayesian epistemology, and refinements to classical decision-theoretic arguments such as Pascal's Wager.
Developed refined decision-theoretic analyses of Pascal's Wager using fine-grained partitions
Contributed foundational work on regularity and infinitesimal probabilities in Bayesian epistemology
Published influential work on conditional probability and the philosophy of probability
Served as a prominent voice in formal epistemology and philosophy of mathematics
Pascal's original decision matrix is insufficiently fine-grained because the 'God does not exist' column should be subdivided into additional theistic hypotheses.
