Abstract

This paper presents a theory of belief revision that allows people to come tobelieve in contradictions. The AGM theory of belief revision takes revision,in part, to be consistency maintenance.

These two sets arecoherent if they do not overlap. On this theory, belief revision maintains coherence.
