Compatibility, Compossibility, and Epistemic Modality

EasyChair Preprint 9401

Abstract

We give a theory of epistemic modals in the framework of possibility semantics and axiomatize the corresponding logic, arguing that it aptly characterizes the ways in which reasoning with epistemic modals does, and does not, diverge from classical modal logic.

Keyphrases: Logic of Natural Language, epistemic modals, possibility semantics
