Agency and Deontic Logic
Horty, John F. (Associate Professor of Philosophy, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Maryland)
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.
