Abstract

In the light of Hawke’s and Özgün’s paper, I consider how and to what extent the sequent calculus and truthmaker semantics might be of help in formulating and solving problems within epistemic logic.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The difficulty is actually more general and can be stated independently of the assumption of Simplification (Fine, 2013).

  2. 2.

    The reader should bear in mind that (a) all that really matters is when φ → ψ is true, not what makes it true or makes it false, and (b) the subclass P (or S◊) of possible states within their framework imposes no constraints (such as Exclusivity and Exhaustivity) on the evaluation of formulas.

  3. 3.

    The logic for this notion of entailment is studied in Fine and Jago (2019).
