Domotor. This seminar surveys the basic theories of empirical knowledge and belief, with special regards to their foundations and justification. We will begin with classical epistemic attitudes, including common and joint knowledge, formulated within the framework of elementary modal logic. Also, we will examine the major inadequacies of this popular apporach. We will then deal in depth with broader questions of revision of knowledge and belief in face of new information, perceptual knowledge, representation of knowledge, skeptical arguments, epistemic paradoxes and naturalized epistemology. Some acquaintance with traditional logic will be helpful.
