Circumscriptive Ignorance
In formal systems that reason about knowledge, inferring that an agent actually does not know a particular fact can be problematic. Collins [l] has shown that there are many different modes of reasoning that a subject can use to show that he is ignorant of something; some of these, for example, involve the subject reasoning about the limitations of his own information-gathering and memory abili...
متن کاملDoes ignorance of the whole imply ignorance of the parts?
In this appendix, we provide a detailed derivation of our results. To this end, we first provide some more detailed background on the entropic quantities we use in Section I. In Section II we show that the splitting inequality (16) is satisfied in any deterministic non-contextual hidden variable model (NC-HV model for short). This is a minor twist on the existing classical proof [1] due to Wull...

A browser is considered to be a functional window to the Internet. It is interface software that serves as a communication medium between the users and the Internet. Sophisticated attack patterns and design flaws in browsers pose serious threats to user security, privacy, and integrity.

However, akrasia is highly exceptional and it turns out that tracing culpable ignorance leads to a vicious regress. Hence, we are hardly ever culpable for our actions. I argue that the argument fails. Cases of akrasia...
متن کاملThe distributive ignorance puzzle∗
We observe that verbs like wonder do not just imply that their subject does not know the answer to the embedded question, but a stronger form of ignorance, which we call distributive ignorance. This is not predicted by existing work on the semantics of wonder, and we argue that it cannot be straightforwardly derived as a pragmatic inference either. We consider two possible semantic accounts, an...
