Knowledge and Belief  An Introduction to the Logic of the Two Notions  by Jaakko Hintikka    Prepared by Vincent F. Hendricks & John Symons      In 1962 Jaakko Hintikka published Knowledge and Belief: An Introduction  to the Logic of the Two Notions with Cornell University Press. Almost  every paper or a book on epistemic and doxastic logic that has appeared  since then has referred to this seminal work. Although many philosophers  working in logic, epistemology, game-theory, economics, computer science  and linguistics mention the book, it is very likely that most have never  literally had their hands on it, much less owned a copy. After a fourth  printing in 1969, Knowledge and Belief went out of print and as many of  us have found to our dismay, it has become increasingly difficult to  find used copies at our local shops or online. It is our pleasure to  provide the interdisciplinary community with this reprint edition of  Knowledge and Belief.      Knowledge and Belief is a classic on which a generation - my generation  - of epistemologists cut their teeth. This reissue is welcome. It will  provide something for the next generation to chew on. - Fred Dretske,  Duke University        It is wonderful to see this classic being reissued after so many years  out of print.  It was extremely influential in its day; its influence  continues to this day, through the impact of epistemic logic in fields  as diverse distributed computing, artificial intelligence, and game  theory.  This reissue should make it possible for a new generation of  researchers to appreciate Hintikka's groundbreaking work. - Joseph  Halpern, Cornell University
