Thanks. Interesting! I know nothing of Cox's theorem, and so I'll need to
study it before I can comment.

In the meantime I should correct something I wrote earlier about the
logical theory:

I wrote, "[the logical theory] will be seen as either epistemic or
objective depending on one's conviction concerning the alleged objective
neo-platonic reality of logic."

I meant something more like: "[the logical theory] can be seen either as
subjective or objective depending on one's conviction concerning the
alleged objective neo-platonic reality of logic, but in either case it can
be considered epistemic."
