Some of the topics that come under the heading of formal epistemology include:
Though formally oriented epistemologists have been laboring since the emergence of Formal Logic (if not earlier), only recently have they been organized under a common disciplinary title. This gain in popularity may be attributed to the organization of yearly Formal Epistemology Workshops by Branden Fitelson and Sahotra Sarkar , starting in 2004, and the recent PHILOG -conferences starting in 2002 (The Network for Philosophical Logic and Its Applications) organized by Vincent F. Hendricks .
