Abstract

In this overview paper, I will attempt to identify and describe some of the common threads that tie together work in reasoning about knowledge in such diverse fields as philosophy, economics, linguistics, artificial intelligence, and theoretical computer science. I will briefly discuss some of the more recent work, particularly in computer science, and suggest some lines for future research.
