Thesis Title: The Game of Inquiry

Prof. Dr. Shahid Rahman

About

My Ph.D. thesis explored the relationship between J. Hintikka's Interrogative Model of Inquiry  (IMI) and Belief Revision Theory (BRT, in the AGM tradition), mainly in connection with the theory of research agendas recently developed by E. Olsson, and with I. Levi's formal epistemology.

My post-doc research will focus on the game-theoretic (strategic) and learning-theoretic aspects of Hintikka's "interrogative reasoning" (deductive reasoning plus questions) which is the formal counterpart of the "Sherlock Holmes" sense of deduction.

I currently work on extending game-theoretic semantics (GTS) to semantic (first-order) entailment, using with non-classical games with unaware agents (unable to compute the possible histories of the game, and complete strategies) before playing. Stay tuned to the paper section for the results!
