Epistemic logics for sceptical agents
In this article, we introduce an epistemic modal operator modelling knowledge over distributive non-associative full Lambek calculus with a negation. Our approach is based on the relational semantics for substructural logics: we interpret the elements of a relational frame as information states consisting of collections of data. The principal epistemic relation between the states is the one of ...
متن کاملEpistemic Circularity and Epistemic Incommensurability
