The Surprise Examination Paradox in Dynamic Epistemic Logic
Alexandru Marcoci · 2010
I wish to express my gratitude to my supervisors, Johan van Benthem and Sonja Smets. They have been excellent guides both through the technical intricacies and the philosophical subtleties that I encountered during my research. I would particularly like to thank Johan for badgering me to always keep in mind the big picture and to Sonja for her day-to-day supervision and careful scrutiny of my every argument. Together, they offered me the impetus and the support I needed in order to successfully complete this project, while leaving me enough space to develop in my own direction. Thank you! I wish to express my gratitude to the members of the committee for the time they invested in reading this thesis and then in devising questions and in stimulating me to think deeper about the problems that it addresses. I wish to express my gratitude to the ILLC for offering the perfect environment for studying logic. It is through the mix of classes and conferences organized here that I first got acquainted with dynamic epistemic logic and gained the necessary skills for completing this thesis. I wish to thank my teachers for all they have taught
