The Expressive Conception of Norms

  • Chapter
Book cover New Studies in Deontic Logic

Part of the book series: Synthese Library ((SYLI,volume 152))

Abstract

Questions concerning the ontological status and the logical properties of norms have been much debated in recent years, not only by legal and moral philosophers but also by a steadily increasing number of “deontic” logicians. In spite of this a whole number of very basic problems have apparently not been solved, and persist.

We would like to express our gratitude to David Makinson for his helpful remarks and corrections both of style and contents.
