Doxastic Logic

Doxastic Logic is a branch of logic that focuses on beliefs and how they can be logically structured. In the context of Epistemic Logic, which deals with knowledge, Doxastic Logic examines how beliefs interact with knowledge and how they can change. It helps us understand the reasoning behind what people believe, how those beliefs can be consistent or inconsistent, and how they can influence decisions. Essentially, it's about the formal study of belief systems, providing a framework to describe and analyze our understanding of what we think and believe.
