Title：Undestanding some pathologies of social epistemology by reasoning about observed behaviour

Speaker：Dr. Jeremy Seligman (University of Auckland)

Place：Room B114,  School of Humanities Building 2, Dept of Philosophy, Peking University (北京大学哲学系 （人文学苑2号楼）地下B114房间)

Time：May 30 (Friday)  3:00pm

Abstract：Whereas spoken announcements are common fare for epistemic logicians, gestures and other vision-based signals are less well-studied. We propose a logic for reasoning about observed behaviour and apply it to the analysis of certain well-known pathologies of social psychology: pluralistic ignorance and the bystander effect.
