Abstract
We propose a solution to the problem of logical omniscience in what we take
to be
its fundamental version: as concerning arbitrary agents and the knowledge
attitude
per se. Our logic of knowledge is a spin-off from a general theory of thick
con-
tent, whereby the content of a sentence has two components: (i) an
intension, taking
care of truth conditions; and (ii) a topic, taking care of subject matter.
We present
a list of plausible logical validities and invalidities for the logic of
knowledge per
se for arbitrary agents, and isolate three explanatory factors for them:
(1) the topic-
sensitivity of content; (2) the fragmentation of knowledge states; (3) the
defeasibility
of knowledge acquisition. We then present a novel dynamic epistemic logic
that
yields precisely the desired validities and invalidities, for which we
provide expres-
sivity and completeness results. We contrast this with related systems and
address
possible objections.
