Set of Answers Methodology in Erotetic Epistemic Logic

Abstract

This paper is an introduction to the methodology of questions’ formalization based on sets of direct answers. Our approach corresponds to a widely accepted idea that the meaning as well as the inferential role of questions are associated with answerhood conditions.

In addition, we show advantages of set-of-answers methodology for logic of questions in the framework of (dynamic) epistemic logic.
