Abstract

We present an epistemic logic ELF (Epistemic Logic with Filters) where knowledge does not require complete certainty. In this logic, instead of saying that an agent knows a particular fact if it is true in every accessible world, we say that it knows the fact if it is true in a sufficiently large set accessible worlds. On a technical level, we do this by enriching the standard Kripke models of epistemic logic with a set of filters: a sufficiently large set of worlds is one that is in the filter. We introduce semantics for ELF, and give a sound and complete proof system.
