This volume presents 38 classic texts in formal epistemology, and
strengthens the ties between research into this area of philosophy
and its neighbouring intellectual disciplines. The editors provide
introductions to five subsections: Bayesian Epistemology, Belief
Change, Decision Theory, Interactive Epistemology and Epistemic
Logic. 'Formal epistemology' is a term coined in the late 1990s for
a new constellation of interests in philosophy, the origins of
which are found in earlier works of epistemologists, philosophers
of science and logicians. It addresses a growing agenda of problems
concerning knowledge, belief, certainty, rationality, deliberation,
decision, strategy, action and agent interaction - and it does so
using methods from logic, probability, computability, decision and
game theory. The volume also includes a thorough index and
suggestions for further reading, and thus offers a complete
teaching and research package for students as well as research
scholars of formal epistemology, philosophy, logic, computer
science, theoretical economics and cognitive psychology.
The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
(ESSLLI) is organized every year by the Association for Logic,
Language and Information (FoLLI) in different sites around Europe.
The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics,
logic and computation. ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and
advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of
topics within the three areas of interest: Language and
Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation. The 16
papers presented in this volume have been selected among 44 papers
presented by talks or posters at the Student Sessions of the 24th
and 25th editions of ESSLLI, held in 2012 in Opole, Poland, and
2013 in Dusseldorf, Germany. The papers are extended versions of
the versions presented, and have all been subjected to a second
round of blind peer review.
