Title: Dynamic Justification Logic for Formal Epistemology
Date and Time: Wednesday, February 19, 2014, 16:30-18:00
Venue: Science Park 107, Room F1.15
Abstract:
In this talk, which covers joint work with Alexandru Baltag and Sonja Smets (both ILLC Amsterdam), I will present progress toward a logical toolkit for reasoning about knowledge, belief, and evidence. My goal will be to demonstrate in simple terms how our work can be applied to representing and reasoning about key aspects of Keith Lehrer’s “Theory of Knowledge,” 2nd ed., Westview Press, 2000.
