  This book examines the concepts of knowledge and belief and their 
formalization in systems of epistemic logic, concepts which are equally
central to philosophy and artificial intelligence research (AI). The 
original  contributions compiled in "Knowledge and Belief in Philosophy
and Artificial Intelligence" give an excellent overview of the current
state of research in a field which has now developed into one of the 
focal areas of knowledge representation.
