Relevant to philosophy, law, management, and artificial intelligence, this book explores the applicability of defeasible logic to normative reasoning. The resulting systems provide a better treatment than classical deontic logic does of prima facie obligation, conditional obligation, and priorities of normative principles.

Relevant to philosophy, law, management, and artificial intelligence, these papers explore the applicability of nonmonotonic or defeasible logic to normative reasoning. The resulting systems purport to solve well-known deontic paradoxes and to provide a better treatment than classical deontic logic does of prima facie obligation, conditional obligation, and priorities of normative principles.
