‘Formal epistemology’ is a term coined in the late 1990s for a new constellation of interests in philosophy,the roots of which are found in earlier works of epistemologists, philosophers of science, and logicians. It addresses a growing agenda of problems concerning knowledge, belief, certainty, rationality, deliberation, decision, strategy, action and agent interaction – and it does so using methods from logic, probability, computability, decision, and game theory. This volume presents 38 classic texts in formal epistemology, and strengthens the ties between research into this area of philosophy and its neighbouring intellectual disciplines. The editors provide introductions to five basic subsections: Bayesian Epistemology, Belief Change, Decision Theory, Interactive Epistemology and Logics of Knowledge and Belief. The volume also includes a thorough index and suggestions for further reading, and thus offers a complete teaching and research package for students as well as research scholars of formal epistemology, philosophy, logic,computer science, theoretical economics and cognitive psychology.<\/p>\n

Dedicated\u00a0Horacio Arl\u00f3-Costa<\/strong>
\nOn June 1, 2011, we received an email from Horacio, expressing his pleasure in our successful cooperation that was drawing to a close, and his eager anticipation of the published book. This would turn out to be the last correspondence we received from our friend. Horacio died on July 14, 2011. This anthology would not have seen the light of day without Horacio\u2019s encyclopedic knowledge and fine scholarship, his original angle of approach to philosophy, and his constant ambition to push the formal epistemology agenda forward. Horacio will never see our joint work in print, but we will continue his quest and honor his legacy by dedicating this book to him.<\/p>\n
