Awareness in logic and epistemology : a conceptual schema and logical study of the underlying main epistemic concepts

By: Fernandez-Fernandez, Claudia.
Series: Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science ; v.52; Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science Ser.Publisher: Cham : Springer, 2021Description: xxi,130 p. : ill., (some color), 24 cm.ISBN: 9783030696054.Subject(s): Belief Revision | Conceptual schema | Deductive inference | EAK-Schema | Epistemic actions | Explicit knowledge | Moral Logic | Logical equivalence | Propositional knowledgeDDC classification: 121 Summary: This book creates a conceptual schema that acts as a correlation between Epistemology and Epistemic Logic. It connects both fields and offers a proper theoretical foundation for the contemporary developments of Epistemic Logic regarding the dynamics of information. It builds a bridge between the view of Awareness Justification Internalism, and a dynamic approach to Awareness Logic. The book starts with an introduction to the main topics in Epistemic Logic and Epistemology and reviews the disconnection between the two fields. It analyses three core notions representing the basic structure of the conceptual schema: “Epistemic Awareness”, “Knowledge” and “Justification”. Next, it presents the Explicit Aware Knowledge (EAK) Schema, using a diagram of three ellipses to illustrate the schema, and a formal model based on a neighbourhood-model structure, that shows one concrete application of the EAK-Schema into a logical structure. The book ends by presenting conclusions and final remarks about the uses and applications of the EAK-Schema. It shows that the most important feature of the schema is that it serves both as a theoretical correlate to the dynamic extensions of Awareness Logic, providing it with a philosophical background, and as an abstract conceptual structure for a re-interpretation of Epistemology.
