In this paper, I provide an account of subjective epistemic obligations. instances peer disagreement, one possesses at least two types obligations: objective obligations and While obligations, such as conciliationism remaining steadfast, have been much discussed in the literature, received little attention. develop context worldview disagreements. recent notion disagreement has receiving increa...

In reaction to the epistemic crisis, efforts restrict free expression and access information have not only failed preserve truth, but sometimes also suppressed it. Libraries’ commitment intellectual freedom creates unique opportunities deliver alternative solutions. By renewing emphasis on in core library functions like collections, education, programming, libraries can provide resources that p...

Abstract This paper presents an efficient approach to compute the bounds on reliability of a structure subjected uncertain parameters described by means imprecise probabilities. These probabilities arise from epistemic uncertainty in definition hyper-parameters set random variables that describe aleatory some structure’s properties. Typically, such calculation involves solution so-called double...

Introduction This article explores whether social science lecturers and postgraduate students perceive their experiences of university as supporting intellectual humility – a concept representing disposition to rigorously consider opposing ideas beliefs held in order confirm the positive epistemic status (or truth) ones’ own beliefs. Methods Forty participants, consisting twenty from United Kin...

The interest of epistemic comparative conditionals comes from the fact that they represent genuine ‘comparative epistemic relations’ between propositions, situations, evidences, abilities, interests, etc. This paper argues that various types of epistemic comparative conditionals uniformly represent comparative epistemic relations via the comparison of epistemic positions rather than the compari...

We add epistemic modal operators to the language of here-and-there logic and define epistemic hereand-there models. We then successively define epistemic equilibrium models and autoepistemic equilibrium models. The former are obtained from here-and-there models by the standard minimisation of truth of Pearce’s equilibrium logic; they provide an epistemic extension of that logic. The latter are ...

An account of meta-epistemic defeaters—distinct from traditional (firstorder) epistemic defeaters—is motivated and defended, drawing from case studies involving epistemic error-theory (e.g., Olson 2011, Reasons for belief; cf., Streumer 2012, J Philos 110:1–25) and epistemic relativism (e.g., MacFarlane 2005, Oxford Stud Epistemol 1:197–233; 2011; 2014, Assessment sensitivity: Relative truth an...

We describe the planning problem within the framework of dynamic epistemic logic (DEL), considering the tree of sequences of events as the underlying structure. In general, the DEL planning problem is computationally difficult to solve. On the other hand, a great deal of fruitful technical advances have led to deep insights into the way DEL works, and these can be exploited in special cases. We...

We propose a dynamic epistemic framework for the verification of security protocols. First, we introduce a dynamic epistemic logic equipped with iteration and cryptographic supplements in which we can formalize and check (epistemic) requirements of security protocols. On top of this, we give a general guide how to go from a protocol specification to its representation in our framework. We demon...
