How should one understand knowledge-wh ascriptions? That is, how should one understand claims such as ‘‘I know where the car is parked,’’ which feature an interrogative complement?

I will argue that knowledge-wh includes the question—to know-wh is to k...
متن کامل'Knowing Whether' in Proper Epistemic Knowledge Bases
Proper epistemic knowledge bases (PEKBs) are syntactic knowledge bases that use multi-agent epistemic logic to represent nested multi-agent knowledge and belief. PEKBs have certain syntactic restrictions that lead to desirable computational properties; primarily, a PEKB is a conjunction of modal literals, and therefore contains no disjunction. Sound entailment can be checked in polynomial time,...

Plato and Aristotle both took epistemic states such as knowledge and understanding to have particular and distinctive value. So too did their immediate and medieval followers (Zagzebski 2001). Th...
متن کاملEpistemic Extensions of Answer Set Programming
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a declarative programming language based on the stable model semantics and geared towards solving complex combinatorial problems. The strength of ASP stems from the use of a non-monotonic operator. This operator allows us to retract previously made conclusions as new information becomes available. Similarly, in commonsense reasoning, we may arrive at conclusions ...
