This paper characterizes several belief-revision rules in a uni…ed framework: Bayesian revision upon learning some event, Je¤rey revision upon learning new probabilities of some events, Adams revision upon learning some new conditional probabilities, and ‘dual-Je¤rey’revision upon learning a new conditional probability function. Despite their di¤erences, these revision rules can be characterize...
