In proof-theoretic semantics, meaning is based on inference. It may seen as the mathematical expression of the inferentialist interpretation of logic. Much recent work has focused on base-extension semantics, in which the validity of…
In 1986, Flagg and Friedman \cite{ff} gave an elegant alternative proof of the faithfulness of G\"{o}del (or Rasiowa-Sikorski) translation $(\cdot)^\Box$ of Heyting arithmetic $\bf HA$ to Shapiro's epistemic arithmetic $\bf EA$. In \S 2, we…
The standard approach to logic in the literature in philosophy and mathematics, which has also been adopted in computer science, is to define a language (the syntax), an appropriate class of models together with an interpretation of…
We introduce a novel semantics for a multi-agent epistemic operator of knowing how, based on an indistinguishability relation between plans. Our proposal is, arguably, closer to the standard presentation of knowing that modalities in…
The logic FO(ID) uses ideas from the field of logic programming to extend first order logic with non-monotone inductive definitions. Such logic formally extends logic programming, abductive logic programming and datalog, and thus formalizes…
Quantified propositional intuitionistic logic is obtained from propositional intuitionistic logic by adding quantifiers \forall p, \exists p over propositions. In the context of Kripke semantics, a proposition is a subset of the worlds in a…
This paper aims to give an epistemic interpretation to the tensor disjunction in dependence logic, through a rather surprising connection to the so-called weak disjunction in Medvedev's early work on intermediate logic under the…
Epistemic logic has become a major field of philosophical logic ever since the groundbreaking work by Hintikka (1962). Despite its various successful applications in theoretical computer science, AI, and game theory, the technical…
Proof-theoretic semantics (P-tS) is the paradigm of semantics in which meaning in logic is based on proof (as opposed to truth). A particular instance of P-tS for intuitionistic propositional logic (IPL) is its base-extension semantics…
The one-variable fragment of any first-order logic may be considered as a modal logic, where the universal and existential quantifiers are replaced by a box and diamond modality, respectively. In several cases, axiomatizations of algebraic…
Proof-theoretic semantics (P-tS) is the approach to meaning in logic based on 'proof' (as opposed to 'truth'). There are two major approaches to P-tS: proof-theoretic validity (P-tV) and base-extension semantics (B-eS). The former is a…
We introduce a modal logic FIL for Feferman interpretability. In this logic both the provability modality and the interpretability modality can come with a label. This label indicates that in the arithmetical interpretation the axiom set of…
Different theorem provers tend to produce proof objects in different formats and this is especially the case for modal logics, where several deductive formalisms (and provers based on them) have been presented. This work falls within the…
In this paper we provide two new semantics for proofs in the constructive modal logics CK and CD. The first semantics is given by extending the syntax of combinatorial proofs for propositional intuitionistic logic, in which proofs are…
We define a new type of proof formalism for multi-agent modal logics with S5-type modalities. This novel formalism combines the features of hypersequents to represent S5 modalities with nested sequents to represent the T-like modality…
We explore the theory of illfounded and cyclic proofs for the propositional modal $\mu$-calculus. A fine analysis of provability for classical and intuitionistic modal logic provides a novel bridge between finitary, cyclic and illfounded…
This paper proposes an approach to information-based logics using many-logic modal structures (MLMS). These structures can express accessibility relations between worlds with different underlying logics by anchoring them to a base lattice,…
A model of knowledge representation is described in which propositional facts and the relationships among them can be supported by other facts. The set of knowledge which can be supported is called the set of cognitive units, each having…
This article presents a formalism inspired by Dennett's notion of the intentional stance. Whereas Dennett's treatment of these concepts is informal, we aim to provide a more formal analogue. We introduce a framework based on stochastic…
We observe some puzzling linguistic data concerning ordinary knowledge ascriptions that embed an epistemic (im)possibility claim. We conclude that it is untenable to jointly endorse both classical logic and a pair of intuitively attractive…
