Fragmentation and logical omniscience [PDF]
AbstractIt would be good to have a Bayesian decision theory that assesses our decisions and thinking according to everyday standards of rationality—standards that do not require logical omniscience (Garber, 1983; Hacking, 1967). To that end we develop a “fragmented” decision theory in which a single state of mind is represented by a family of credence ...

Dynamic Epistemic Logic and Logical Omniscience [PDF]
Epistemic logics based on the possible worlds semantics suffer from the problem of logical omniscience, whereby agents are described as knowing all logical consequences of what they know, including all tautologies. This problem is doubly challenging: on the one hand, agents should be treated as logically non-omniscient, and on the other hand, as ...

Logical Omniscience as a Conditionality Issue. A Multi-Modal Approach [PDF]
Many solutions to the problem of Logical Omniscience assume that this arises from the behavior of the epistemic operators. However, few proposals have criticized the assumption that material implication accurately accounts for conditionality. This paper

Game Semantics, Quantifiers and Logical Omniscience [PDF]
Logical omniscience states that the knowledge set of ordinary rational agents is closed for its logical consequences. Although epistemic logicians in general judge this principle unrealistic, there is no consensus on how it should be restrained. The challenge is conceptual: we must find adequate criteria for separating obvious logical consequences ...

The goal of the article is twofold. The first one is to provide logics based on positional semantics which will be suitable for the analysis of epistemic modalities such as ‘agent ... knows/beliefs that ...’.
