Agency and deontic logic

Horty, J.

9780195391985 - Agency and deontic logic
Secondhand

Article description

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, Hortys framework allows a number of recent issues from moral theory to be set out clearly and discussed from a uniform point of view.
