dc.description.abstract |
Much of the depth and complexity of rational behaviour emerges only when one considers interactions between agents. Yet logic, with its traditional focus on the justification of an individual's beliefs, has only recently been adapted to a multi-agent setting, in which concepts such as common knowledge, strategic game-playing, and the dynamics of communication can be addressed. The broadening of the subject allows research in logic to engage productively with related areas of social science such as theoretical economics. This series of lectures will focus on a recent development of this trend, in which relevant social relationships such as `friend', `trusted advisor', or `student' are explicitly represented in formal languages, so that there role in reasoning in social settings can be studied. In this first lecture, we will introduce the topic with a number of examples in which social relationships play a role in reasoning and indicate the broad framework used to study them. This is followed by an application, in more detail, to modelling the effect of peer pressure on the dynamics of preference change within a community. |
