Inference and Proof

Inference plays a crucial role in the design of dynamic-epistemic logics since these describe valid laws of information update of various kinds. But logical inference is also a dynamic act in itself which changes a current information state of the reasoning agent. Dynamic-epistemic approaches to inference can represent such acts explicitly.
