Epistemic Logic and Knowledge Management
نویسنده
چکیده
In most textbooks on knowledge management (KM; e.g., [5]), there is no reference to epistemic concepts at all. In [8], there is even an explicit statement that epistemologic concepts of knowledge are “useless“ for KM, since KM seems to be about the use rather than the truth aspect of knowledge. However, there is a remarkably explicit reference to such concepts in [7] establishing the use of epistemic analysis in understanding and supporting the process of knowledge creation in today’s innovative companies.

Intuitively, a formula is distributed contingen...
