Can we know the answer without knowing that it is the answer to this question?<br \/>\nI investigate logics(s) for knowing\/learning answers to questions, and argue that all knowledge can in fact be reduced to this kind: at a first approximation, <em>to know is know how to answer a question<\/em>. Moreover, if questions (and answers) are properly construed, then knowledge, from an abstract point of view, is just a correlation between two questions (where the answer to the first carries information about the answer to the second). By reflection, agents can themselves come to know such correlations.<br \/>\nIn this sense, <em>to know is to know how to use questions to answer other questions<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Alexandru Baltag (ILLC, Amsterdam)<br \/>\nDate and Time: Friday, December&nbsp;16th 2016, 15:30-17:00<br \/>\nVenue: ILLC Seminar Room F1.15, Science Park 107.<br \/>\nTitle: Knowing the Answer.<br \/>\nAbstract: What does it mean to &#8220;know the answer&#8221; to a question?
