The present volume has its origin in a meeting of philosophers,
linguists and cognitive scientists that was held at Umea
University, Sweden, September 24-26, 1993. The meeting was
organized by the Department of Philosophy in co-opersation with the
Department of Linguistics, and it was called UmLLI-93, the Umea
Colloquium on Dynamic Approaches in Logic, Language and
Information. The papers included here fall into three broad
categories. In the first part of the book, Action, are collected
papers that concern the formal theory of action, the logic of
norms, and the theory of rational decision. The papers in the
second part, Belief Change, concern the theory of belief dynamics
in the tradition of Alchourron, Gardenfors and Makinson. The third
part, Cognition, concerns abstract questions about knowledge and
truth as well as more concrete questions about the usefulness and
tractability of various graphic representations of information.

organized by the Department of Philosophy in cooperation with the
Department of Linguistics, and it was called UmLLI-93, the Umea
Colloquium on Dynamic Approaches in Logic, Language and
Information. The papers published here are considerably expanded
and revised versions of talks presented by invited speakers at this
colloquium. The papers included here fall into three broad
categories. In the first part of the book, Action, we have
collected papers that concern the formal theory of action, the
logic of nonns, and the theory of rational decision. The papers in
the second part, Belief Change, concern the theory of belief
dynamics in the tradition of Alchourr6n, Gardenfors and Makinson.
The third part, Cognition, concerns abstract questions about
knowledge and truth as well'as more concrete questions about the
usefuleness and tractability of various graphic representations of
infonnation. An additional and important topic of the colloquium
concerned logical approaches to natural language. For the sake of
the thematic unity of this book, and its appearance in the series
Trends in logic, the colloquium papers related to language are not
included here, but some of these contributions will appear in the
philosophical journal Theoria.
