• W4220813288 abstract "Abstract I show that the Lottery Paradox is just a version of the Sorites, and argue that this should modify our way of looking at the Paradox itself. In particular, I focus on what I call “the Cut-off Point Problem” and contend that this problem, well known by Sorites scholars, ought to play a key role in the debate on Kyburg’s puzzle. Very briefly, I show that, in the Lottery Paradox, the premises “ticket n°1 will lose”, “ticket n°2 will lose”… “ticket n°1000 will lose” are equivalent to soritical premises of the form “~(the winning ticket is in {…, (t n )}) ⊃ ~(the winning ticket is in {…, t n , (t n + 1 )})” (where “⊃” is the material conditional, “~” is the negation symbol, “t n ” and “t n + 1 ” are “ticket n° n ” and “ticket n° n + 1” respectively, and “{}” identify the elements of the lottery tickets’ set. The brackets in “(t n )” and “(t n + 1 )” are meant to point out that in the antecedent of the conditional we do not always have a “t n ” (and, as a result, a “t n + 1 ” in the consequent): consider the conditional “~(the winning ticket is in {}) ⊃ ~(the winning ticket is in {t 1 })”). As a result, failing to believe, for some ticket, that it will lose comes down to introducing a cut-off point in a chain of soritical premises. In this paper I explore the consequences of the different ways of blocking the Lottery Paradox with respect to the Cut-off Point Problem. A heap variant of the Lottery Paradox is especially relevant for evaluating the different solutions. One important result is that the most popular way out of the puzzle, i.e., denying the Lockean Thesis, becomes less attractive. Moreover, I show that, along with the debate on whether rational belief is closed under classical logic, the debate on the validity of modus ponens should play an important role in discussions on the Lottery Paradox." @default.
