Abstract

Although the AGM model is commonly considered to be the standard model of belief change, it has been subject to extensive criticism. In this chapter we make a résumé of this criticism. Much of the critical discussion has referred either to the postulates for partial meet contraction and revision, or to various aspects of the use of belief sets to represent belief states.
