Abstract

Standard epistemic logics based on S4/5 have been often criticised to represent too ideal agents (logical omniscience, positive and/or negative introspection etc.) We propose much weaker epistemic logic based on the relevant logic R, which we extend with an distinctive epistemic modality K. The intended interpretation is that KA holds (relative to a given information state s) if there is a resource available at s, confirming A.
