Journal of Logic and Computation, 2018 Cariani (Ought and resolution semantics) has proposed a semantics for ought that combines two features: (i) it invalidates Inheritance, i.e. the inference from ought to ought whenever is logically weaker than , and it does so in a principled manner; (ii) it allows for coarseness, which means that ought can be true even if there are specific ways of ...

Deontic Logic Based on Inquisitive Semantics
, 2021 This paper introduces deontic logic based on inquisitive semantics. A semantics for action formulas is introduced where each action formula is associated with a set of alternatives.

Redeeming Relative Value: Indexicality and Consequentializing Agent‐Centered Norms
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Robert Nozick doubted forms of consequentialism that employ so‐called “agent‐relative value” because he found them “gimmicky.” This doubt has been sharpened by Don Regan, Mark Schroeder, and others into the objection that agent‐relative value lacks the practical importance we associate with good simpliciter.

Quantifiers for a Modal Future
Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Future auxiliaries present a challenge to the classical analysis of modal expressions as existential or universal quantifiers over a contextually provided set of possible worlds: these expressions come with a distinct modal flavor, but their interaction with negation and the fact that future judgments come in degrees of confidence is ...

“Justifying Military Conscription”
Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT I argue that wartime military conscription can be justified only if potential conscripts have duties to enlist, or duties to participate in an enlistment lottery, that conscription forces them to discharge. I explore whether our interpersonal duties to rescue can ground a duty to enlist.

Deontic Redundancy: A Fundamental Challenge for Deontic Logic [PDF]
, 2010 To decide which norms can be removed from a system, we need to know when a norm is redundant. After shifting the focus of attention in deontic logic from detachment of obligations and permissions to deontic redundancy, I discuss in this paper five benchmark examples of deontic redundancy in reasoning about permissions, intermediate concepts and ...

Automated Reasoning over Deontic Action Logics with Finite Vocabularies [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2014 In this paper we investigate further the tableaux system for a deontic action logic we presented in previous work. This tableaux system uses atoms (of a given boolean algebra of action terms) as labels of formulae, this allows us to embrace parallel ...
