Locke(d) in a Dilemma: The Problem of Territorial Authority

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Lockean social contract theory, the state exercises its authority over territory through property rights. The state has territorial authority over the property it and its citizens claim.

Quantifiers for a Modal Future

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.

A Deontic Argumentation Framework Based on Deontic Defeasible Logic

, 2018
Deontic Defeasible Logic (DDL) is a simple and computationally efficient approach for the representation of normative reasoning. Traditionally defeasible logics are defined proof theoretically based on the proof conditions for the logic. In this paper we present an argumentation system that corresponds to a variant of DDL.
