In Knowledge and Belief Jaakko Hintikka presents a fairly detailed system of epistemic logic and tries to show its philosophical importance by bringing it to bear upon such problems as what goes wrong in saying "It's raining, but I don't believe it." In setting up the system, Hintikka ...

Intuitive as it may seem in "everyday logic", Epistemic Closure is not obvious in modal logic. 1) We have to assume that nobody can "know" that Ρ if "P" is not true; some linguists would say that the verb know is "factive" and presupposes the truth of its complement; this ...
It is unclear which principles of classical logic we need to weaken in order to avoid this result. The problem with ii is that it cannot explain the different behaviour of 1 and 2 in certain contexts. While we may embed 1 felicitously (as in ‘If it is raining and I don’t know ...
This chapter provides a brief introduction to propositional epistemic logic and its applications to epistemology. No previous exposure to epistemic logic is assumed. Epistemic-logical topics discussed include the language and semantics of basic epistemic logic, multi-agent epistemic logic, combined epistemic...

rationality enlarges the set of possible equilibria. In both cases, the results were obtained by introducing more and moreepistemic logicsin classical game theory. In that respect, the state space of the system, which already includes the nature's state, has to be extended to the players' ...
The impact of misinformation was so dramatic that it was described by some as a separate pandemic related to information with comparable levels of risk termed “infodemic” by the World Health Organization1. Who is responsible for keeping individual knowledge in check? As evidence accumulates for ...

believability of the premises and/or conclusion, rather than the logical form of the argument. Vulnerability to belief-bias can be assessed by setting up a conflict between logic and belief. This can be accomplished by way of arguments that have an invalid form, but true premises and/or a ...
