Overview

Epistemic logic, studies statements containing verbs such as ""know"" and ""wish"". It is an area of medieval philosophy which was greatly neglected after the end of the Middle Ages, but which has been rediscovered by philosophers of the present century. Ivan Boh explores the rules for entailment between epistemic statements, the search for the conditions of knowing contingent propositions, the problems of substitutivity in intentional contexts, the relationship between epistemic and modal logic, and the problems of composite and divided senses, in authors ranging from Abelard to Frachantian.
