Thanks for stopping by. I take it that you're asking about the definition of knowledge found in my post On the logic of knowing:
M, s ╞ Kiφ iff for all t ~ i s : M, t ╞ φ
I wrote the post some time ago, but I believe the above formulation is actually taken from Johan van Benthem's paper "Epistemic Logic and Epistemology: the state of their affairs", though he gets it from Hintikka. Bibliographic details allude me now, but you may wish to check out van Benthem's paper.
Today my self-esteem hit an all time low when I stumbled across an argument proving conclusively that I don't exist. I’m quite distressed. This probably explains why my jeans are so loose-fitting. What’s equally upsetting is that I learned that non-existence does not exempt one from local or federal taxes.

Hi Avery
I just found your snip about Hintikka from this March, I would be interested in the source where he has written that.
Generally I find your blog great, and of course I disagree sometimes ;)
thus, see you later
Thanks
Klaus
