A Protocol-theoretic Framework for the Logic of Epistemic Norms (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022): Ralph Jenkins A Protocol-theoretic Framework for the Logic of Epistemic Norms (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)

This book defines a logical system called the Protocol-theoretic Logic of Epistemic Norms (PLEN), it develops PLEN into a formal framework for representing and reasoning about epistemic norms, and it shows that PLEN is theoretically interesting and useful with regard to the aims of such a framework. In order to motivate the project, the author defends an account of epistemic norms called epistemic proceduralism. The core of this view is the idea that, in virtue of their indispensable, regulative role in cognitive life, epistemic norms are closely intertwined with procedural rules that restrict epistemic actions, procedures, and processes. The resulting organizing principle of the book is that epistemic norms are protocols for epistemic planning and control. The core of the book is developing PLEN, which is essentially a novel variant of propositional dynamic logic (PDL) distinguished by more or less elaborate revisions of PDL's syntax and semantics. The syntax encodes the procedural content of epistemic norms by means of the well-known protocol or program constructions of dynamic and epistemic logics. It then provides a novel language of operators on protocols, including a range of unique protocol equivalence relations, syntactic operations on protocols, and various procedural relations among protocols in addition to the standard dynamic (modal) operators of PDL. The semantics of the system then interprets protocol expressions and expressions embedding protocols over a class of directed multigraph-like structures rather than the standard labeled transition systems or modal frames. The intent of the system is to better represent epistemic dynamics, build a logic of protocols atop it, and then show that the resulting logic of protocols is useful as a logical framework for epistemic norms. The resulting theory of epistemic norms centers on notions of norm equivalence derived from theories of process equivalence familiar from the study of dynamic and modal logics. The canonical account of protocol equivalence in PLEN turns out to possess a number of interesting formal features, including satisfaction of important conditions on hyperintensional equivalence, a matter of recently recognized importance in the logic of norms, generally. To show that the system is interesting and useful as a framework for representing and reasoning about epistemic norms, the author applies the logical system to the analysis of epistemic deontic operators, and, partly on the basis of this, establishes representation theorems linking protocols to the action-guiding content of epistemic norms. The protocol-theoretic logic of epistemic norms is then shown to almost immediately validate the main principles of epistemic proceduralism.

Have you ever wondered what the energies of darkness and evil are? How they are created and how they affect and influence people? This book not only provides valuable insights towards understanding how darkness and evil touches everyone, but gives valuable tools to eradicate them. By understanding the nature of darkness and evil, positive steps can be taken individually and collectively to transform the illusions they create. For example fear is an element of darkness, it's an illusion that is created by the lower nature i.e. the ego, in order to control. Judgement is an example of the ego at work! Judgement separates and divides the individual and groups of people through preferences. Judgement is a tool of darkness as is fear. The knowledge provided within this book will guide you to be more self-realised about darkness and evil. The valuable insight will help transform any negative thoughts and emotions you may be holding by raising your consciousness to eliminate your fears. Any positive step that you take in this direction will awaken the Divine within you i.e. your love and light. Light is expansive and love is healing, unifying whatever they touch. By drawing more light into your being you will create a greater state of inner harmony i.e. peace of mind and a joy of heart. Love and light, Ralph Jenkins
