Introduction to Deontic Logic and the Theory of Normative Systems

€62.00

The book deals with deontic logic in the broad sense of the logical study of normative discourse, the main concepts of which are those of obligation, prohibition, permission and comittment. A powerful trend of research in the area was initiated by von Wright’s famous contribution in the early fifties, where the formal properties of monadic (absolute, unconditional) normative concepts were systematically explored.
