First, I will show a generalisation of Aumann&#8217;s surprising impossibility result in the context of rational decision making. I will then move, in the second part, to discuss the interpretational meaning of some formal setups of epistemic models, and I will do so by means of presenting an interesting puzzle in epistemic logic. The aim is to highlight certain problematic aspects of these epistemic systems concerning first\/third-person asymmetry which underlies both parts of the story. This asymmetry, I argue, reveals certain limits of what epistemic models can be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>CV<\/strong>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u5218 \u6d0b (&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yliu.net\">www.yliu.net<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Leverhulme Research Fellow &amp; Isaac Newton Fellow&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Faculty of Philosophy, University of Cambridge<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time: 2019 Nov 1,&nbsp;13:30-16:00Venue: \u8499\u6c11\u4f1f\u79d1\u6280\u5927\u697c\u5357\u697cS527, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1696"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1696"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1698,"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1696\/revisions\/1698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
