This is the first of a series of small and thematically focused events
in formal epistemology organized by Eric Swanson (Michigan), Jonathan
Weisberg (Toronto), and Franz Huber (Konstanz).

The background for the first Formal Epistemology Festival is the 40th

The festivities of 2009 will take place in Ann Arbor, featuring Causal
Decision Theory and Scoring Rules (this happens to be the 10th
anniversary of James Joyces The Foundations of Causal Decision
Theory). The festivities of 2010 will take place in Toronto and focus
on Defeater/Default Logic and Perception (this happens to be the 30th
anniversary of Ray Reiters A Logic for Default Reasoning and the
