This book provides a critical examination of how the choice of what
to believe is represented in the standard model of belief change.
In particular the use of possible worlds and infinite remainders as
objects of choice is critically examined. Descriptors are
introduced as a versatile tool for expressing the success
conditions of belief change, addressing both local and global
descriptor revision. The book presents dynamic descriptors such as
Ramsey descriptors that convey how an agent's beliefs tend to be
changed in response to different inputs. It also explores
sentential revision and demonstrates how local and global
operations of revision by a sentence can be derived as a special
case of descriptor revision. Lastly, the book examines revocation,
a generalization of contraction in which a specified sentence is
removed in a process that may possibly also involve the addition of
some new information to the belief set.
