Knowing whether A or B
Synthese 190 (14):2595-2621 (2013)
Abstract
The paper examines the logic and semantics of knowledge attributions of the form “s knows whether A or B”. We analyze these constructions in an epistemic logic with alternative questions, and propose an account of the context-sensitivity of the corresponding sentences and of their presuppositions.Author Profiles
