Document Details : Title: A Suitable Semantics for Implicit and Explicit Belief Author(s): GIORDANI, Alessandro Journal: Logique et Analyse Volume: 231 Date: 2015 Pages: 395-415 DOI: 10.2143/LEA.231.0.3141817 Abstract : In the present paper a new semantic framework for modelling the distinction between implicit and explicit belief is proposed and contrasted with the currently standard framework based on the idea that explicit belief can be construed as implicit belief accompanied by awareness. It is argued that within this new framework it is possible to get both a more intuitive interpretation of the aforementioned distinction and a straightforward solution to two critical problems to which the standard view is subjected. A system of logic for belief is introduced and proved to be complete with respect to the class of all frames for implicit and explicit belief constructed in accord to the new view. |
