formal epistemology  

Definición

  • Formal epistemology is the application of formal methods (logic, probability theory, and algebra, etc.) to an analysis of the operational properties of knowledge and related epistemic phenomena such as belief and information. Just as in the physical sciences we use formal methods to construct mathematical models of physical phenomena, in formal epistemology, we use formal methods to construct mathematical models of epistemic phenomena.
