Epistemic modal logic
Epistemic modal logic
is a subfield of
modal logic
that is concerned with reasoning about
knowledge
. While
epistemology
has a long philosophical tradition dating back to
Ancient Greece
, epistemic logic is a much more recent development with applications in many fields, including
philosophy
,
theoretical computer science
,
artificial intelligence
,
economics
and
linguistics
. While philosophers since
Aristotle
have discussed modal logic, and
Medieval philosophers
such as
Ockham
and
Duns Scotus
developed many of their observations, it was
C. I. Lewis
who created the first symbolic and systematic approach to the topic, in 1912. It continued to mature as a field, reaching its modern form in 1963 with the work of
Kripke
.
