Abstract

[It was understood from the beginning that the use of logically closed sets of sentences to represent belief states is not cognitively realistic. In an article published in 1985 Makinson pointed out that “in real life, when we perform a contraction or derogation, we never do it to the theory itself (in the sense of a set of propositions closed under consequence) but rather on some finite or recursive or at least recursively enumerable base for the theory” [238, p. 357]. The use of belief bases rather than (logically closed) belief sets has turned out to increase the expressive power of the belief change framework in important ways.]
