Epistemic Model Theory revisited II.
Sergei Artemov
The CUNY Graduate Center
We provide a brief but rigorous review of the model theory for modal epistemic logic. In addition to the classical soundness and completeness results we will focus on features that are normally left hidden: necessitation in epistemic scenarios, internalization property of the model, knowledge of the model, etc. This should provide a solid base for further epistemic logic investigations.
In this talk, we take a fresh look at canonical models of the usual multi-modal systems, and discuss what they can and cannot do in the epistemic settings.
