Agency and Deontic Logic Hardcover - 2001

by John F. Horty


From the publisher

John Horty effectively develops deontic logic (the logic of ethical concepts like obligation and permission) against the background of a formal theory of agency. He incorporates certain elements of decision theory to set out a new deontic account of what agents ought to do under various conditions over extended periods of time. Offering a conceptual rather than technical emphasis, Horty's framework allows a number of recent issues from moral theory to be set out clearly and discussed from a uniform point of view.

First line

The purpose of this study is to explore a new deontic logic for representing and reasoning about what agents ought to do, a notion that must be distinguished from that of what ought to be the case.
