Long Description

Inthe1950'sGeorgvonWrightprovidedthe'rstsurveysinepistemiclogic. Roughly 10 years later Jaakko Hintikka published his seminal work on the logic of knowledge and belief. Epistemic and doxastic logics have since then grown into mature disciplines enjoying many important applications in philosophy, computer science, gametheory, economicsandlinguistics to mention of few ?elds of applications. Knowledge Contributors is based on the Dimensions in Epistemic Logic conference hosted by ?LOG--The Danish Network for Philosophical Logic and Its Applications in May 2002 at Roskilde University, Denmark. The conference featured lectures by such recognized experts in epistemic logic as Joseph Y. Halpern (Cornell University, USA), Jaakko Hintikka (Boston University, USA), Wiebe van der Hoek (University of Liverpool, UK), Wolfgang Lenzen (University of Osnabruc
