Introduction to Deontic Logic and Normative Systems

<p>Deontic logic deals with obligation, permission&nbsp;and related normative concepts. This&nbsp;textbook introduces three frameworks that&nbsp;have dominated the landscape of deontic&nbsp;logic: monadic deontic logic, dyadic deontic&nbsp;logic, and input/output logic. It describes their&nbsp;language, semantics, proof theory, and gives&nbsp;soundness and completeness theorems.&nbsp;The addition of exercises makes the book&nbsp;ideal for self-study or as a textbook in class.<br /> <br /> Deontic logic remains neutral on application&nbsp;issues. Over the years, it has been applied in&nbsp;a variety of fields, including philosophy, ethics,&nbsp;linguistics, computer science, and the law. This&nbsp;textbook will serve as a valuable resource for&nbsp;students and researchers wishing to gain a&nbsp;practical understanding of deontic logic for&nbsp;use in their work.<br /> &nbsp;</p>
