This review is from: Epistemic Logic: 5 Questions (Paperback)
Epistemic Logic is a good read for all those interested in knowing what is at stake in the conflation of epistemology, a discipline that relies on methodical and systematic analytical thinking, and knowledge, a term with wider implications and which includes modes of seeing and sensing in ways that may resist systematization. In other words, what we learn from our world and the knowledge that we gain from observing it may exceed the stages of merely putting two and two together. The articles in this volume cut across interdisciplinary efforts to combine what is measurable with the less measurable. Metaphorical concepts abound and particularly the ones bordering poetic language, symbolic language that is not only mathematical, are interesting to consider. To give an example, Aviad Heifetz's contribution to the idea of infinitary-logic is fraught with the temptation to plunge right into it, poetry, that is, and thus turn the discourse of what is probable into a discourse of what is possible under odd circumstances. Hendricks and Roy did a good editorial job at not cutting out what is precisely the most interesting aspect of epistemic logic, namely its unboundedness. The constellation on the cover is a suggestive and nice touch. (Camelia Elias, Roskilde University, Denmark)
