Toward an Epistemic-Logical Theory of Categorization
Categorization systems are widely studied in psychology, sociology, and organization theory as information-structuringdevices which are critical to decision-making processes. In the present paper, we introduce a sound and complete epistemic logic of categories and agents’ categorical perception. The Kripke-style semantics of this logic is given in terms of data structures based on two domains: ...

This essay examines the interaction between the project of metamathematics and the cognitive science of concepts. The aim of metamathematics, i.e., the methodology of the deductive sciences, is to provide a precise characterization of the concepts figuring in rigorous, formal theories (Tarski, 1930/1983). The concepts at issue include those familiar frommetalogical inquiry – e.g., completeness ...

Step 2: Define an inaccuracy score i(j, w) for individual judgments j of type J. This is a numerical measure of how inaccurate (in the sense of Step 1) j is (at w). For each set J = {j1, . . . , jn}, we define its total inaccuracy at w as the sum of the i-scores of its members: I(J, w) Öi i(ji, w). Step 3: Adopt a fundamental epistemic principle, which uses I(J, w) to ground a (formal, synchron...

Introduction In the beginning knowledge was local. With the development of more complex forms of economic organization knowledge began to travel. The Library of Alexandria was the fulfillment—however partial and transitory—of a vision to bring together all the knowledge of the world. But to obtain the knowledge one had to go to Alexandria. Today the World Wide Web promises to make universally a...
