Handling Defeasibilities in Action Domains

, 2002
Representing defeasibility is an important issue in common sense reasoning. In reasoning about action and change, this issue becomes more difficult because domain and action related defeasible information may conflict with general inertia rules ...

Argument from Ignorance and Argument from Silence

Дискурс, 2021
Introduction. This article focuses on the specifics of the arguments from ignorance and arguments from silence. The relevance of the work is due to the growing interest of the scientific community in modeling of defeasible (presumptive) reasoning and ...

Embedding Defeasible Logic into Logic Programming

, 2005
Defeasible reasoning is a simple but efficient approach to nonmonotonic reasoning that has recently attracted considerable interest and that has found various applications. Defeasible logic and its variants are an important family of defeasible reasoning

Does Suppositional Reasoning Solve the Bootstrapping Problem? [PDF]

, 2015
In a 2002 article Stewart Cohen advances the “bootstrapping problem” for what he calls “basic justification theories,” and in a 2010 followup he offers a solution to the problem, exploiting the idea that suppositional reasoning may be used with ...

Annotated Defeasible Logic

, 2017
Defeasible logics provide several linguistic features to support the expression of defeasible knowledge. There is also a wide variety of such logics, expressing different intuitions about defeasible reasoning.

Local logics, non-monotonicity and defeasible argumentation [PDF]

, 2004
In this paper we present an embedding of abstract argumentation systems into the framework of Barwise and Seligman’s logic of information flow.We show that, taking P.M.

A strike for democracy? Migration, the bigot's veto, and the electoral use of force

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Politicians and philosophers alike have warned that the spread of anti‐migrant bigotry in the Western world requires a tragic trade‐off regarding immigration policy: Although millions of asylum‐seekers might be owed admission to Western democracies, there are many cases where they nonetheless ought to be denied entry, because their admission ...

Nested Rules in Defeasible Logic [PDF]

, 2005
Defeasible Logic is a rule-based non-monotonic logic with tractable reasoning services. In this paper we extend Defeasible Logic with nested rules. We consider a new Defeasible Logic, called DL^ns, where we allow one level of nested rules.

Perversity, futility, complicity: Should democrats participate in autocratic elections?

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Electoral authoritarianism is receiving increasing attention from political scientists, yet it has been mostly ignored by political philosophers. This paper aims to fill some of this gap by considering whether it is morally permissibly for democrats to participate in autocratic elections as candidates or voters.
