Title Awareness and attention: what enters epistemic reasoning?
Abstract
Two agents with the same information and awareness may hold different beliefs
because of inattention. Attention differs from awareness: while awareness
determines what is available for reasoning, attention determines what is
actually taken into account. Existing epistemic logics do not typically address
this distinction explicitly.
In this talk, I will discuss how attention and awareness can be represented in epistemic logic, what distinguishes them, and how they shape belief.
