Abstract

We propose a new operation of belief revision, called permissive belief revision. The underlying idea of permissive belief revision is to replace the beliefs that are abandoned by traditional theories with weaker ones, entailed by them, that still keep the resulting belief set consistent. This framework allows us to keep more beliefs than what is usual using existent belief base-based revision theories.
