Argument-based Belief in Topological Structures
This paper combines two studies: a topological semantics for epistemic notions and abstract argumentation theory. In our combined setting, we use a topological semantics to represent the structure of an agent’s collection of evidence, and we use argumentation theory to single out the relevant sets of evidence through which a notion of beliefs grounded on arguments is defined. We discuss the for...
متن کاملBelief Updating and Argument Evaluation
Studies of how evidence affects beliefs sometimes show belief polarization in response to mixed evidence. However, the nature of the mental processes leading to change in opinion is up for debate. Different accounts of how people process evidence and then update their beliefs make different predictions, especially about one-sided evidence, which is rarely examined. We presented subjects with mu...
متن کاملNo Belief without Reason: Logics of Argument-Based Beliefs
The paper addresses how the information state of an agent relates to the arguments that the agent endorses. Information states are modeled in doxastic logic and arguments by recasting abstract argumentation theory in a modal logic format. The two perspectives are combined by an application of the theory of product logics, delivering sound and complete systems in which the interaction of argumen...
متن کاملThe Topological Theory of Belief
Stalnaker introduced a combined epistemic-doxastic logic that can formally express a strong concept of belief, a concept which captures the ‘epistemic possibility of knowledge’. In this paper we first provide the most general extensional semantics for this concept of ‘strong belief’, which validates the principles of Stalnaker’s epistemic-doxastic logic. We show that this general extensional se...
متن کاملInformation structures in belief revision
Belief revision theories address the problem of rationally integrating new pieces of information into an agent’s belief state. Belief states themselves are represented by certain kinds of information structures. The most interesting and most closely studied type of belief revision is the one in which the new information is inconsistent with the agent’s current beliefs. The main question of the ...
