摘要

Taking an intuitionistic stance and regarding proof theory as methodologically basic for semantics and logic, we develop, building on previous work (J. Log. Comput. 31(3): 704-770, 2021; Bull. Symb. Log. 32(1): 136-196, 2026), a proof-theoretic framework for the study of the inferential interaction between counterfactuals and belief/knowledge. Relying on the technical results obtained for this framework (preservation, normalization, the subexpression property), we give a proof-theoretic semantics for elementary constructions which combine (counter)factuals, belief, knowledge, disbelief, and ignorance.
