			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have just uploaded a draft of a paper I am working on, titled &#8216;The Logic of Being Misinformed&#8217;, which can be downloaded <a href='http://theinformationalturn.net/papers/logic_being_misinformed.pdf'>here</a>. Feedback welcome. Following is the abstract:</p>
<blockquote><p>
It is well established that the states of knowledge and belief have been captured using systems of modal logic. Referred to respectively as epistemic and doxastic modal logics, they have been studied extensively in the literature. In a relatively recent paper entitled <a href="http://www.philosophyofinformation.net/publications/pdf/tlobi.pdf" target="_blank">&#8216;The Logic Of Being Informed&#8217;</a>, Luciano Floridi does the same for the state of being informed, giving a logic of being informed also based on modal logic. In this <i>information logic</i> (<b>IL</b>), the statement I<sub><i>a</i></sub><i>p</i> stands for &#8216;<i>a</i> is informed that <i>p</i>&#8216; or &#8216;<i>a</i> holds the information that <i>p</i>&#8216;. After a review of Floridi&#8217;s logic of being informed, including an explication of the central concept of semantic information, I go on to develop a complementary logic of being <i>misinformed</i>, which formally captures the relation `<i>a</i> is misinformed that <i>p</i>&#8216;.
