Tolerating Inconsistencies: A Study of Logic of Moral Conflicts
Bulletin of the Section of Logic, 2022 Moral conflicts are the situations which emerge as a response to deal with conflicting obligations or duties. An interesting case arises when an agent thinks that two obligations A and B are equally important, but yet fails to choose one obligation over ...

Contrary-to-Duty Scenarios, Deontic Dilemmas, and Transmission Principles*
Ethics: An International Journal of Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy, 2018 Actualists hold that contrary-to-duty scenarios give rise to deontic dilemmas and provide counterexamples to the transmission principle, according to which we ought to take the necessary means to actions we ought to perform. In an earlier article, I have

Defeasibility applied to Forrester’s paradox
South African Computer Journal, 2020 Deontic logic is a logic often used to formalise scenarios in the legal domain. Within the legal domain there are many exceptions and conflicting obligations. This motivates the enrichment of deontic logic with not only the notion of defeasibility, which

How generics obscure the logic of conditionals
Mind &Language, EarlyView.This paper discusses counter‐examples to modus ponens and modus tollens involving modals and quantificational adverbs, and presents new counter‐examples with generic conditionals. We argue that the counter‐examples are spurious, and are explained by the domain‐restricting effects of if‐clauses.

åqvist's Dyadic Deontic Logic E in HOL
FLAP, 2018 We devise a shallow semantical embedding of Åqvist's dyadic deontic logic E in classical higher-order logic. This embedding is encoded in Isabelle/HOL, which turns this system into a proof assistant for deontic logic reasoning.
