For temporal epistemic logic, perfect recall is characterized by the axiom [K.sub.i]X[phi] [right arrow] X[K.sub.i][phi], while its converse, no learning, is X[K.sub.i] [right arrow] [K.sub.i]X[phi].
Hintikka's second generation epistemic logic introduces a syntactic device allowed to express independence relations between certain logical constants.
Following are chapters on general topics such as compositionality, dynamic epistemic logic, formal learning theory, and non-montonic reasoning in interpretation.
Others take it to be a general puzzle about the erosion of intuitively distinct views at the intersection of modal and epistemic logic. Among antirealists, some view it as genuinely paradoxical, while others take it as further evidence that anti-realists should deny (v) and opt for an intuitionistic logic.
