This work addresses a theoretical issue in logic or philosophy, but it appears incremental as it builds directly on previous research without introducing major innovations.
The paper tackles the problem of defining deontic modalities by using a preference relation from prior work, and discusses the resulting system's consequences without presenting new empirical results.
Deontic modalities are here defined in terms of the preference relation explored in our previous work (Osherson and Weinstein, 2012). Some consequences of the system are discussed.
