15:00\u00a0Ben Rodenh\u00e4user <\/strong>(University of Amsterdam): Intro<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

15:10\u00a0Branden Fitelson<\/strong> (Rutgers University) : Knowledge from Non-Knowledge
\n<\/strong><\/em>First, I will review some historical examples that appear to be cases of knowledge obtained via (rational) inference from premises (some of) which are not known. Then, I will discuss a popular strategy for responding to such cases. Finally, I will pose a dilemma for this popular strategy.<\/p>\n

16:00\u00a0Break<\/p>\n

16:10\u00a0Wesley H. Holliday<\/strong> <\/strong>(UC Berkeley):\u00a0Knowledge, Time, and Paradox: Introducing Sequential Epistemic Logic
\n<\/strong><\/em>In this talk, I will introduce Sequential Epistemic Logic (SEL), a generalization of Dynamic Epistemic Logic (DEL) aimed at describing the full temporal sequence of agents’ epistemic states, including agents\u2019 changing knowledge of their own and others\u2019 past and future epistemic states, in terms of the kinds of epistemic transformations studied in DEL. I will focus on the SEL analogue of Public Announcement Logic. After discussing some objections to DEL analyses of epistemic paradoxes (in particular, the Knowability Paradox and Surprise Exam Paradox), I will show how SEL overcomes these objections and provides new distinctions related to the phenomenon of “unsuccessful” information updates.<\/p>\n

17:00\u00a0Break<\/p>\n

17:10\u00a0Hans Rott<\/strong> (Universit\u00e4t Regensburg): Imperfect Discrimination and the Vagueness of Belief
\n<\/strong><\/em>The classical theory of theory change due to Alchourr\u00f3n, G\u00e4rdenfors and Makinson (“AGM”) has been widely known as being characterised by two packages of postulates. The basic package consists of six postulates and is very weak, the full package adds two further postulates and is very strong. Tracing the ideas of imperfect discrimination of the plausibilities of possible worlds, and of imperfect discrimination of the entrenchments of beliefs, I argue that for the interest in two distinct weakenings of the full AGM theory (which are still a lot stronger than the basic theory). The notion of imperfect discrimination raises the question regarding its relation to the notion of vagueness, here: the vagueness of the concept of belief. I try to give an answer.<\/p>\n

18:00\u00a0End of Workshop<\/p>\n
