This seminar focuses on prominent issues in contemporary epistemology. Standard topics in the field will be studied in the light of recent research in artificial intelligence, cognitive science as well as social and decision sciences. Topics considered in recent years include 'local' theories of induction, the problem of how to represent belief and how to justify belief change, as well as issues related to the viability and structure of current theories of 'radical probabilism' in Bayesian epistemology. The seminar discusses not only issues in 'classical' epistemology, but also more recent naturalistic and pragmatists approaches.
