Abstract:
Abstract Chiffi and Pietarinen (2020) argue that the knowability paradox disappears if we adopt the concept of conjecturability instead of knowability within the framework of Peirce’s theory of science. They make two main claims: first, conjecturability plays an all-important role in scientific inquiry and it explains better scientific progress than knowability; second, conjecturability does not produce aparadox akin to the knowability paradox. However, based on our reading of Peirce, we contend that knowability plays an important role in scientific inquiry and progress. Moreover, we show that

Abstract:
Abstract In this paper we undertake an analysis of the knowability paradox in the light of modal epistemic logics and of the phenomena of unsuccessful updates. The knowability paradox stems from the Church-Fitch observation that the plausible knowability principle, according to which all truths are knowable, yields the unacceptable conclusion that all truths are known. We show that the phenomenon of an unsuccessful update is the reason for the paradox arising. Based on this diagnosis, we propose a restriction on the knowability principle which resolves the paradox.

Abstract:
In this paper, we aim to contribute to the growing literature on historical approaches to knowability by examining how the concept of knowability can be developed in the context of Peirce’s philosophy. There has been some previous work on Peirce’s notion of knowability (Dabay 2016; Chiffi and Pietarinen 2020), but our analysis differs from these attempts. We argue that Peirce is committed to a version of the knowability thesis and thus liable to validate Fitch’s paradoxical argument, but that his overall epistemology offers a nuanced picture of the limits of knowledge.

Abstract:
Les logiques multivalentes sont définies comme une famille de logiques non classiques dont la caractéristique commune est de ne pas restreindre les valeurs de vérité aux seuls « vrai » et « faux ». À cet égard, Kleene (1938) a offert une logique se fondant sur l’intuition que tout énoncé est soit vrai, soit faux ; mais qu’il existe néanmoins des énoncés dont la valeur de vérité n’est pas connue. La formalisation d’une telle intuition amena Kleene à introduire une troisième attribution de valeur de vérité pour les énoncés : « inconnu ». Pour autant, une telle formalisation reste ambiguë : elle

Nous vivons dans un monde où l'information est constamment mise à jour. Les logiques dotées d'opérateurs dynamiques sont capables de raisonner sur les changements d'information multi-agents. La logique épistémique dynamique est la logique du changement de connaissances. Par exemple, dans la logique de l'annonce publique, une annonce restreint le domaine aux états où elle est vraie pour représenter les conséquences du changement de connaissances. Une généralisation de la logique épistémique dynamique est l'extension avec quantification. Elle comble un fossé intéressant entre la logique modale p

Abstract The thesis will be devoted to the possibility of knowing God in philosophical sense. Methodologically disregards the biblical revelation (revelatio) and Christian doctrine. Master student will present appropriate doctrine of Aquinas and tries to find its influences and forms in the works of contemporary philosophers of religion as R. Swinburne, R. Schaeffler and more.

Abstract:
In this paper we present a topological epistemic logic, with modalities for knowledge (modeled as the universal modality), knowability (represented by the topological interior operator), and unknowability of the actual world. The last notion has a non-self-referential reading (modeled by Cantor derivative: the set of limit points of a given set) and a self-referential one (modeled by Cantor's perfect core of a given set: its largest subset without isolated points). We completely axiomatize this logic, showing that it is decidable and PSPACE-complete, and we apply it to the analysis of a famous
