We study conditions relating to the impossibility of agreeing to disagree in models of interactive KD45 belief (in contrast to models of S5 knowledge, which are used in nearly all the agreements literature). Agreement and disagreement are studied under models of belief in three broad settings: non-probabilistic decision models, probabilistic belief revision of priors, and dynamic communication ...

We characterize belief-free equilibria in infinitely repeated games with incomplete information with N ≥ 2 players and arbitrary information structures. This characterization involves a new type of individual rational constraint linking the lowest equilibrium payoffs across players. The characterization is tight: we define a set of payoffs that contains all the belief-free equilibrium payoffs; ...

Belief merging aims at extracting a coherent and informative view from a set of belief bases. A first requirement for belief merging operators is to obey basic rationality conditions. Another expected property is to preserve as much information as possible from the input bases. In this paper, we show how new merging operators, called compositional operators, can be defined from existing ones. S...

Belief change for ordered pairs of extended logic programs is studied in this paper. Several belief change operators are introduced. They map sets of belief sets of given logic programs to resulting sets of belief sets. A belief set is defined as the set of all consequences of a set of default literals. The work is focused on sound (undefeated) sets of default literals, which satisfy conditions...

for many religious people there is a problem of doubting various creedal statements contained in their religions. often propositional beliefs are looked upon as a necessary, though not sufficient, condition, for salvation. this causes great anxiety in doubters and raises the question of the importance of belief in religion and in life in general. it is a question that has been neglected in phil...

the relationship between wisdom and belief from ghazli and the reverendabstract wisdom is one of the ranks of human through which it acquires knowledge and functions and belief is a heart acknowledgement which reaches human the confidence and inner relief. how are they relevant? can we be self – contained of one of them if we have the other one? this present writing has investigated this issue ...

Investigations that focus on children’s hand gestures often conclude that gesture production arises as a result of having multiple representations. To date, the predictive validity of this notion has not been tested. In this study we compared the gestures of 82 five-year old children holding either a single or a dual representation. The children retold a story narrated to them, with pictures, b...
