Logic, Action and Cognition

This book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Action, are collected papers that concern the formal theory of action, the logic of norms, and the theory of rational decision. The papers in the second part, Belief Change, concern the theory of belief dynamics. The third part, Cognition, concerns Fitch's knowability paradox as well as problems concerning the graphic representation of information.
