Introduction

Liu, Fenrong

Pages: 3 –16

[Humans are often said to be information-processing agents navigating a complex world with their knowledge and beliefs. But preference is what colors our view of that world, and what drives the actions that we take in it. Moreover, we influence each other’s preferences all the time by making...

Dynamic Epistemic Logic

Liu, Fenrong

Pages: 19 –29

[What is knowledge? How can we acquire knowledge? When can we say that we know something? Do we know that we know something? Those are the issues that puzzled Chinese philosophers about 2000 years ago, witness a famous dialogue below between Zhuangzi (approx.369–286 BC) from the Daoism School and...

Preference over Worlds: Static Logic

Liu, Fenrong

Pages: 33 –42

[Preferences arise from comparisons between alternatives, say, outcomes, actions, or situations. Such a comparison is typically associated with some ordering, indicating that one alternative is “better” than another. For instance, when playing chess or other games, choosing a move π1 instead of...

Preference over Worlds: Dynamic Logic

Liu, Fenrong

Pages: 43 –54

[In the preceding chapter, we have introduced a logical framework for static preference. Continuing on this platform, our main concern in this chapter is the dynamics of preference change. Our preferences are modified constantly through commands of moral authorities, suggestions from friends who...

Entanglement of Preference, Knowledge and Belief

Liu, Fenrong

Pages: 55 –69

[Many of the meaningful scenarios where preference occurs have a mixed character. For instance, in making rational decisions, an agent does not just take her preferences into account, but also what she knows or believes about the outcomes of her actions. And in rational social decisions, she will...

Intermezzo: A Quantitative Approach

Liu, Fenrong

Pages: 71 –83

[The notion of preference arises from comparisons of alternatives. To formalize such comparisons and study them, there are two ways to go. We can represent preference in terms of qualitative binary relations, as we did in our modeling in Chapter 3, following a long logical tradition ([83, 100,...

Preference from Priorities: Static Logic

Liu, Fenrong

Pages: 87 –97

[In this chapter, we will change the atmosphere of our topics and our logical methods a bit: Worlds will make place for objects, modal logic for first-order logic, and there will be differences in style as well. Eventually, however, all will fit back into one uniform paradigm for this book.]

Belief-Based Preference

Liu, Fenrong

Pages: 99 –113

[In this chapter, we resume the issue of “entanglement” of preference and information-based notions like knowledge and belief, that we have studied already in Chapter 5. How does this play when preference comes with richer priority structure? To plunge right in, let us consider a variation of...

Preference from Priorities: Dynamic Logic

Liu, Fenrong

Pages: 115 –120

[In the preceding two chapters, a rich notion of priority-based preference has been studied in stable situations. Various ways of deriving preferences from a priority sequence have been proposed, both under complete and under incomplete information. In this chapter we take up one of the main...

A Two-Level Perspective on Preference

Liu, Fenrong

Pages: 123 –138

[In Part III of this book,we presented a modal logic approach to preference and preference change via betterness relations. Then, in Part IV, we developed what might be seen as a competing priority-based view of preference. These two perspectives had different intuitions, both plausible and...
