Abstract Essentialists understand modal properties in terms of the essences things. Given this view, it is natural to think that our knowledge modality ultimately derives from Is view plausible? Do we genuinely have things, a form substantial enough ground knowledge? The more pack into notion essence allow underpin properties, harder claim genuine knowledge. I will argue realists about certain ...

This work is motivated by the existence of two useful but quite different knowledge representation formalisms, the situation calculus due to McCarthy, and the logic OL of only knowing due to Levesque. In this paper, we propose the logic AOL, which combines both approaches in a clean and natural way. We present a semantics for AOL which generalizes the semantics of OL to account for actions, and...

This paper out l ines an approach toward computa t i ona l l y invest igat ing the processes involved in reasoning about the knowledge states of other cogn i t i ve agents. The approach is Fregean and is compared with the work of McCarthy and Creary. We describe how the formalism represents the knowing o f intensional i nd iv idua ls , c o r e f e r e n t i a l i t y , i t e r ated propos i t i...

In this paper, we propose a single-agent logic of goal-directed knowing how extending the standard epistemic logic of knowing that with a new knowing how operator. The semantics of the new operator is based on the idea that knowing how to achieve φ means that there exists a (uniform) strategy such that the agent knows that it can make sure φ. We give an intuitive axiomatization of our logic and...

Knowledge claims may play an essential role in reproductive decision-making, as individuals seek out, assess, reject, and use information about health fertility gathered from numerous sources. This paper focuses specifically on childless women’s self-perceptions of knowledge infertility age-related decline. How knowledgeable do women perceive themselves to be general, where they obtain this kno...

Working alongside members of communities who are remote and/or marginalized from the dominant socio-economic powers, long-term goal Decolonisation Digital Learning Spaces project is to empower in choosing, adopting, developing, appropriating culturally appropriate and sustainable digital learning technologies. Before we can co-envision useful options, however, must first know what questions ask...
