Abstract

The sentences of deontic logic may be understood as describing what
an agent ought to do when faced with a given set of norms. If these
norms come into conflict, the best the agent can be expected to do
is to follow a maximal subset of the norms. Intuitively, a priority
ordering of the norms can be helpful in determining the relevant
sets and resolve conflicts, but a formal resolution mechanism has
been difficult to provide. In particular, reasoning about
prioritized conditional imperatives is overshadowed by problems such
as the `order puzzle' that are not satisfactorily resolved by
existing approaches. The paper provides a new proposal as to how
these problems may be overcome.
