Epistemology, Knowledge and the Impact of Interaction

This volume offers a follow up and response to the challenge posed in the first volume of this series, aptly named Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science edited by S. Rahman et.al. and develops upon arguments proposed in additional preceding LEUS volumes. The series’ first volume posited that one way to recover the connections between logic, philosophy of sciences, and sciences is to acknowledge the host of alternative logics which are currently being developed. This is witnessed by the volumes, The Age of Alternative Logics edited by J. van Benthem et al., and The (Anti-)Realism Debate in the Age of Alternative Logics edited by G. Primiero et al., particularly in the intersection of knowledge and epistemology and where the notion of knowledge is understood as resulting from interaction. Furthermore, this volume serves to join the impressive philosophical and mathematical results from Constructive Type Theory that launches a new epistemic approach to logic, the foundations of mathematics, and epistemology. This view is taken up by the volumes, among others, Epistemology versus Ontology by P. Lindström, Judgment and the Epistemic Foundation of Logic by M van der Schaar. However, the picture is incomplete as it also includes the role of epistemic role of abduction and argumentation, both linked to the non-monotonic approaches to dynamic of knowledge.
