$${\in_K}$$ : a Non-Fregean Logic of Explicit Knowledge

Abstract: We present a new logic-based approach to the reasoning about knowledge which is independent of possible worlds semantics. ∈K (Epsilon-K) is a non-Fregean logic whose models consist of propositional universes with subsets for true, false and known propositions. Knowledge is, in general, not closed under rules of inference; the only valid epistemic principles are the knowledge axiom Kiϕ → ϕ and some minimal conditions concerning common knowledge in a group. Knowledge is explicit and all forms of the logical omni… Show more

“…We finish this section with a discussion on self-referential propositions. Having in mind the intended meaning of the identity connective (see Lemma 3.15), we are able to express self-referential statements by means of equations (this kind of modeling self-reference was proposed in [17] and subsequently used in, e.g., [19,10,11]). For instance, the equation (12) x ≡ (x → ⊥) defines a version of the liar proposition.…”

“…Many further properties of knowledge and belief, such as the distribution law K(ϕ → ψ) → (Kϕ → Kψ), can be modeled semantically by imposing suitable closure conditions on the set BEL of each model. 4 Special attention deserves the bridge theorem ϕ → Kϕ which establishes the connection between the modal and the epistemic part of the logic. Actually, we will need a slightly stronger bridge axiom, namely ϕ → Kϕ, in order to warrant that the axioms of propositional identity, in particular (Id3), also hold in the extended epistemic language (see Lemma 2.1).…”
