Johan van Benthem

Johan van Benthem is a prominent logician and philosopher known for his work in epistemic logic, which studies knowledge and beliefs in formal systems. He explores how information is shared, what it means for agents to know something, and how these concepts relate to logic and language. Van Benthem's research combines ideas from logic, computer science, and philosophy, aiming to understand how reasoning about knowledge affects communication and decision-making. His contributions help clarify how we think about uncertainty and belief in various fields, including artificial intelligence and the foundations of mathematics.
