Revisiting quantification in autoepistemic logic

Abstract

In this article, we introduce first-order autoepistemic logic. Our definition is semantical and is based on the intuition similar to that lying behind the definition of first-order default logic. Thus, our definition of first-order autoepistemic logic well complies with that of first-order default logic and circumscription, providing a substantial evidence for its acceptance.
