| Summary: |
The paper first points out that ranking functions are superior to AGM belief revision theory in two crucial respects, i.e. in solving the problem of iterated belief revision and in giving an adequate account of doxastic independence (this was indeed why ranking function were developed in No. 15). Second, it shows how ranking functions are uniquely reflected in iterated belief change. More precisely, it specifies conditions on threefold contractions which suffice to represent contractions by a ranking function uniquely up to multiplication by a positive integer (a result independently obtained by Matthias Hild). Thus, an important advantage AGM theory was always claimed to have over ranking functions proves to be spurious.
