Tolerating Inconsistencies: A Study of Logic of Moral Conflicts

open access: yesBulletin 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 ...

Defeasibility applied to Forrester’s paradox

open access: yesSouth 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

Enriching deontic logic [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Logic and Computation, 2018
It is well-known that systems of action deontic logic emerging from a standard analysis of permission in terms of possibility of doing an action without incurring in a violation of the law are subject to paradoxes. In general, paradoxes are acknowledged as such if we have intuitions telling us that things should be different.

Prioritization of the Social Approach of Employment Modeled by Plithogenic Sets [PDF]

open access: yesNeutrosophic Sets and Systems, 2020
Employment can only be understood from different approaches, such as the social, economic, and legal approach. To model employment using logic, it is necessary to take into account that these approaches are usually modeled with different logics, e.g ...

A Probabilistic Deontic Logic

open access: yes, 2021
In this article, we introduce a logic for reasoning about probability of normative statements. We present its syntax and semantics, describe the corresponding class of models, provide an axiomatization for this logic and prove that the axiomatization is sound and complete. We also prove that our logic is decidable.

An Algebraic Approach for Action Based Default Reasoning [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2019
Often, we assume that an action is permitted simply because it is not explicitly forbidden; or, similarly, that an action is forbidden simply because it is not explicitly permitted.

Deontic Logic, Mental odels, and Wason Selection Task

open access: yesPrincipia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2014
A problem related to theWason selection task is that only some thematic versions of it are executed correctly. Fodor raises the thesis that the versions that are adequately solved are those that refer to deontic situations.

The Challenge of the K-Principle in Deontic Logic (and Well Beyond)

open access: yesPhenomenology and Mind, 2017
I go through various arguments why the K-principle (aka Distributivity Axiom), O(p→q)→(Op→Oq), a cornerstone of all deontic logic as the latter is standardly conceived, is of little use for the logical analysis of real-life deontic discourse.

Deontic logic and adaptive algorithms: The relevance of explicit benefit in versions of the selection task

open access: yesFilosofia Unisinos, 2013
Social contract theory argues that to properly execute thematic versions of the selection task one has to specify, in the rules of such versions, an explicit benefit that can only be achieved in exchange for meeting a requirement.
