A Defense of Temperate Epistemic Transparency
Epistemic transparency tells us that, if an agent S knows a given proposition p, then S knows that she knows that p. This idea is usually encoded in the socalled KK principle of epistemic logic. The paper develops an argument in favor of a moderate version of KK, which I dub quasi-transparency, as a normative rather than a descriptive principle. In the second Section I put forward the suggestio...
متن کاملDRAFT Epistemic Closure in Context
1. Epistemic closure The general principle of epistemic closure stipulates that epistemic properties are transmissible through logical means. The principle of epistemic closure under known entailment (ECKE), a particular instance of epistemic closure (EC), has received a good deal of attention since the last thirty years or so. ECKE states that: if one knows that p, and she knows that p entails...
متن کاملLikelihoods, Multiple Universes, and Epistemic Context
puzzle physicists and philosophers alike and provide the lynchpin for the fine-tuning argument for design. But both advocates and opponents of the fine-tuning argument treat multiple universes with a selection effect as an entirely respectable hypothesis to account for the constant values. I will argue that, except where there is relevant prior information, the existence of multiple instances o...

متن کاملContext-Awareness and Context-Transparency as Orthogonal Concepts in HCI
There is no free ride in enhancing context-awareness of artifacts as artifacts lack the ability to (re-) negotiate the meaning of particular situations. We therefore argue that research in context-awareness should be complemented by orthogonal research in what we call context-transparency.
