Awareness and attention: what enters epistemic reasoning?
Gaia Belardinelli, Technical University of Denmark
Two agents with the same information and awareness may hold different beliefs because of inattention. Attention differs from awareness: while awareness determines what is available for reasoning, attention determines what is actually taken into account. Existing epistemic logics do not typically address this distinction explicitly.
In this talk, I will discuss how attention and awareness can be represented in epistemic logic, what distinguishes them, and how they shape belief.
