Highlighting the coherence of, and connections between, current themes in the subject, this volume collates original contributions from key researchers into a new trend in the contemporary theory of knowledge and belief known as 'dynamic epistemology'. Editor(s): Girard, Patrick R.; Roy, Olivier; Marion, Mathieu. Series: Synthese Library. Num Pages: 252 pages, 10 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: HPK; HPL; JPA; KCH; PDA; UMB.

This volume is a collation of original contributions from the key actors of a new trend in the contemporary theory of knowledge and belief, that we call “dynamic epistemology”. It brings the works of these researchers under a single umbrella by highlighting the coherence of their current themes, and by establishing connections between topics that, up until now, have been investigated independently. It also illustrates how the new analytical toolbox unveils questions about the theory of knowledge, belief, preference, action, and rationality, in a number of central axes in dynamic epistemology: temporal, social, probabilistic and even deontic dynamics.

Reviews for Dynamic Formal Epistemology
From the reviews: "Dynamic Formal Epistemology contains a great deal of novel research of which I was not aware in the areas of belief change, knowledge change, modal logical approaches of such matters, and pragmatics of such matters. Overall as a collection it is admirably focussed, and it is a welcome addition to the literature in this area." Hans ... Read more
