Knowledge and Belief An Introduction to the Logic of the Two
Notions by Jaakko Hintikka Prepared by Vincent F. Hendricks &
John Symons In 1962 Jaakko Hintikka published Knowledge and Belief:
An Introduction to the Logic of the Two Notions with Cornell
University Press. Almost every paper or a book on epistemic and
doxastic logic that has appeared since then has referred to this
seminal work. Although many philosophers working in logic,
epistemology, game-theory, economics, computer science and
linguistics mention the book, it is very likely that most have
never literally had their hands on it, much less owned a copy.
After a fourth printing in 1969, Knowledge and Belief went out of
print and as many of us have found to our dismay, it has become
increasingly difficult to find used copies at our local shops or
online. It is our pleasure to provide the interdisciplinary
community with this reprint edition of Knowledge and Belief.
Knowledge and Belief is a classic on which a generation - my
generation - of epistemologists cut their teeth. This reissue is
welcome. It will provide something for the next generation to chew
on. - Fred Dretske, Duke University It is wonderful to see this
classic being reissued after so many years out of print. It was
extremely influential in its day; its influence continues to this
day, through the impact of epistemic logic in fields as diverse
distributed computing, artificial intelligence, and game theory.
This reissue should make it possible for a new generation of
researchers to appreciate Hintikka's groundbreaking work. - Joseph
