Taking Ross's Paradox Seriously A note on the original problems of deontic logic
Theoria, 2008: It is argued that Ross's Paradox in deontic logic is a problem which should be taken seriously, and which can be given a solution which also solves some other wellknown paradoxes and the traditional problems with conditional obligation.

Deontic Paradox and Conditional Obligation
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, 1989The present essay continues my examination of the fashionable conditional obligation approach for dealing with the various paradoxes of deontic logic. In [id] and [zz] I evaluated the conditional obligation systems of van Fraassen [z7], Mott [v1], and Al-hibri [i] negatively against the Contrary-To-Duty Imperative Paradox and the Knower Paradox ...

Conditional obligation, deontic paradoxes, and stit
2001Abstract Consider the following argument, which is adapted from Castaneda 1981.* Alchourr6n is obligated to do the following: If Bulygin sends him the draft of their latest joint paper, revise it. Bulygin has sent Alchourrón the draft of their latest joint paper.

The Paradoxes of Deontic Logic: Alive and Kicking
Theoria, 2008In a recent paper, Sven Danielsson argued that the ‘original paradoxes' of deontic logic, in particular Ross's paradox and Prior's paradox of derived obligation, can be solved by restricting the modal inheritance rule. I argue that this does not solve the paradoxes.

The “Paradox of Singleton” in the Deontic Logic: Maximus the Confessor et alii
Respublica Literaria, 2022Since Aristotle, it is assumed, in deontic logics, that the free will of an agent requires necessarily a possibility of choice between no less than two alternatives. This condition was not sine qua non in the Byzantine theology. The free will without a choice between different alternatives was also conceivable. The situation of “choice from one”, where

Theoria, 2014
AbstractIn an earlier paper by the author, Åqvist (1999), I presented an approach to the logic of historical necessity, or inevitability, in the sense of a “two‐dimensional” combination of tense and modal logic for worlds, or histories, with the same time order, known as T × W logic.

Logique et Analyse, 1997
Summary: Standard deontic logic features fairly serious so-called ``paradoxes'' (technically: counterintuitive validities). Much energy in deontic logic has been spent on avoiding these ``paradoxes''. We suggest a reformulation of deontic logic in terms of a multi-agent logic, ALX.3, where a ``super-agent'' (think of a legislature) lays down the law of

The Paradoxes of Deontic Logic: The Simplest Solution to all of them in one Fell Swoop
1981Deontic logic, as a discipline of study, deals with the structure of our ordinary reasoning about obligations, ought’s, interdictions, prohibitions, wrongs, rights, and freedoms to act. Thus, it is supposed to: (i) reveal and clarify the criteria for valid reasoning about those matters; (ii) illuminate and give us understanding of the logical structure
