Belief Change and Dependence
1 I N T R O D U C T I O N The central question in the theory of belief revision is what is meant by a minimal change of a state of belief. The well-known AGM rationali ty postulates for contraction (AlchourrSn et al. 1985, G£rdenfors 1988) partially answer tha t question: ( K i ) K A is a theory.
متن کاملBelief Ascription and Context Dependence
This article considers the question whether belief ascriptions exhibit context dependence. I first distinguish two potential forms of context dependence in belief ascription. Propositional context dependence (PCD) concerns what the subject believes, whereas attitudinal context dependence (ACD) concerns what it is to believe a proposition. I then discuss three potential sources of PCD and two po...
متن کاملBelief Change and Base Dependence
A strong intuition for AGM belief change operations, Gärdenfors suggests, is that formulas that are independent of a change should remain intact. Based on this intuition, Farias and Herzig axiomatize a dependence relation w.r.t. a belief set, and formalize the connection between dependence and belief change. In this paper, we introduce base dependence as a relation between formulas w.r.t. a bel...
متن کاملDouble preference relations for generalised belief change
Many belief change formalisms employ plausibility orderings over the set of possible worlds to determine how the beliefs of an agent ought to be modified after the receipt of a new epistemic input. While most such possible world semantics rely on a single ordering, we investigate the use of an additional preference ordering—representing, for instance, the epistemic context the agent finds itsel...
متن کاملDependence Relations in Nonelementary Classes
We study the classK of models of a first order theory T omitting a prescribed set of types, under the assumption that K contains a model with a high level of sequentialhomogeneity. The stability theory of such classes was initiated by Shelah in 1969. We introduce a rank which is bounded when K is א0-stable. The main difficulties are the failure of the compactness theorem forK and the fact that ...
