• (Updated) 3 October 2017, Workshop on Topological Approaches in Epistemic Logic

  Date & Time: Tuesday 3 October 2017, 09:00-17:00

  On the occasion of the PhD defense by Aybüke Özgün there will also be a Workshop on Topological Approaches in Epistemic Logic on October 3rd 2017.

  At this meeting, we will on the one hand look into the recent developments in formal qualitative modelling of evidence, belief and knowledge from a topological perspective. On the other hand, we explore new technical tools to refine and extend earlier philosophical analyses, leading to novel epistemic systems.

  Everyone is welcome to attend the workshop and it is free of charge, however, please register to help us with the organization.
