Book Synopsis Interactive Epistemology by : Robert C. Robinson
Download or read book Interactive Epistemology written by Robert C. Robinson. This book was released on 2008. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly 30 years now, an interesting philosophical problem has been developing and taking shape, but not in the philosophical literature. Interactive epistemology (or interactive knowledge) is a branch of logic dealing with shared knowledge, but it has been dealt with nearly entirely in the economic and computer science literature. My purpose in the current article is to introduce some of the progress that has been made on this topic over the course of the last 30 years, as well as make clear what are some of the more interesting philosophical problems associated with this, along with some of the solutions offered thus far.

Book Synopsis What to Believe Now by : David Coady
Download or read book What to Believe Now written by David Coady. This book was released on 2012-04-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can we know and what should we believe about today's world? What to Believe Now: Applying Epistemology to Contemporary Issues applies the concerns and techniques of epistemology to a wide variety of contemporary issues. Questions about what we can know-and what we should believe-are first addressed through an explicit consideration of the practicalities of working these issues out at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Coady calls for an 'applied turn' in epistemology, a process he likens to the applied turn that transformed the study of ethics in the early 1970s. Subjects dealt with include: Experts-how can we recognize them? And when should we trust them? Rumors-should they ever be believed? And can they, in fact, be a source of knowledge? Conspiracy theories-when, if ever, should they be believed, and can they be known to be true? The blogosphere-how does it compare with traditional media as a source of knowledge and justified belief? Timely, thought provoking, and controversial, What to Believe Now offers a wealth of insights into a branch of philosophy of growing importance-and increasing relevance-in the twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis Interactive Epistemology I by : Robert J. Aumann
Download or read book Interactive Epistemology I written by Robert J. Aumann. This book was released on 1999. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formal Interactive Epistemology deals with the logic of knowledge and belief when there is more than one agent or "player." One is interested not only in each person's knowledge about substantive matters, but also in his knowledge about the others' knowledge. This paper examines two parallel approaches to the subject. The first is the semantic approach, in which knowledge is represented by a space of states of the world, together with partitions of the state space for each player i; the atom of i's partition containing a given state of the world represents i's knowledge at that state - the set of those other states that i cannot distinguish from that state. The second is the syntactic approach, in which knowledge is embodied in sentences constructed according to certain syntactic rules. This paper examines the relation between the two approaches, and shows that they are in a sense equivalent.
