Summary Epistemic Logic and Epistemology
This chapter provides a brief introduction to propositional epistemic logic and its applications to epistemology. No previous exposure to epis- temic logic is assumed. Epistemic-logical topics discussed include the lan- guage and semantics of basic epistemic logic, multi-agent epistemic logic, combined epistemic-doxastic logic, and a glimpse of dynamic epistemic logic. Epistemological topics discussed include Moore-paradoxical phe- nomena, the surprise exam paradox, logical omniscience and epistemic clo- sure, formalized theories of knowledge, debates about higher-order knowl- edge, and issues of knowability raised by Fitch’s paradox. The references and recommended readings provide gateways for further exploration.
