Applications of Epistemic Logic to the Philosophy of Science

摘要

The paper reviews Hintikka's Epistemic Logic, mainly with respect to technical aspects and to that part of the system that deals with the combination of epistemic notions and the concepts of the propositional calculus. Extensions are made to combinations of epistemic operators with alethic predicates and quantification over statements. An epistemic conceptual framework for inductive logic is outlined and applied to the explication of 'analytic' as a pragmatic concept. The research contributes to theories for natural language analysis.
