Combining sceptical epistemic reasoning with credulous practical reasoning
This paper proposes an argument-based semantics for combined epistemic and practical reasoning, taking seriously the idea that in certain contexts epistemic reasoning is sceptical while practical reasoning is credulous. The new semantics combines grounded and preferred semantics. A dialectical proof theory is defined which is sound and complete with respect to this semantics and which combines ...
متن کاملContrastivism Rather Than Something Else? On The Limits Of Epistemic Contrastivism
One of the most recent trends in epistemology is contrastivism. It can be characterized as the thesis that knowledge is a ternary relation between a subject, a proposition known and a contrast proposition. According to contrastivism, knowledge attributions have the form “S knows that p, rather than q”. In this paper I raise several problems for contrastivism: it lacks plausibility for many case...
متن کاملKnowledge, Practical Reasoning And Action
Is knowledge necessary or sufficient or both necessary and sufficient for acceptable practical reasoning and rational action? Several authors (e.g., Williamson, Hawthorne, and Stanley) have recently argued that the answer to these questions is positive. In this paper I present several objections against this view (both in its basic form as well in more developed forms). I also offer a sketch of...
متن کاملKnowledge and Reasoning in Practical Dialogue Systems
We describe Scusi?, a spoken language interpretationmechanism designed to be part of a robot-mounted di-alogue system. Scusi?’s interpretation process mapsspoken utterances to text, which in turn is parsed andthen converted to conceptual graphs. In order to sup-port robust and flexible performance of the dialoguemodule, Scusi? maintains multiple options at eachstage ...
متن کاملReasoning About Knowledge and Action in an Epistemic Event Calculus
We present a generalization of classical-logic Event Calculus that facilitates reasoning about non-binary-valued fluents in domains with non-deterministic, triggered, concurrent, and possibly conflicting actions. We show how this framework may be used as a basis for a “possible-worlds” style approach to epistemic and causal reasoning in a narrative setting. In this framework an agent may gain k...
