Toward a Linguistic Interpretation of Deontic Paradoxes [PDF]
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2014 . A linguistic analysis of deontic paradoxes can be used to further develop deontic logic. In this paper we provide a Beth-Reichenbach semantics to analyze deontic paradoxes, and we illustrate it on the single agent decision problem of the miners scenario.

Free choice and contextually permitted actions [PDF]
, 1996 We present a solution to the paradox of free choice permission by introducing strong and weak permission in a deontic logic of action. It is shown how counterintuitive consequences of strong permission can be avoided by limiting the contexts in which an ...

The Role of Deontic Logic in the Specification of Information Systems [PDF]
, 1998 In this paper we discuss the role that deontic logic plays in the specification of information systems, either because constraints on the systems directly concern norms or, and even more importantly, system constraints are considered ideal but violable ...

Contrary-to-Duty Paradoxes and Counterfactual Deontic Logic [PDF]

A contrary-to-duty obligation is an obligation telling us what ought to be the case if something forbidden is true, for example: ‘If she is guilty, she should confess’.

The Simplest Solution to the Deepest Paradox of Deontic Logic
Organon F, 2023 Since its inception in 1984, several ‘simple’ solutions have been proposed to answer the deepest paradox of deontic logic. In this paper, I present the simplest one yet: the deepest paradox is simply ill-formulated.
