Oughts and Ends
As this ought, or ought not, expresses some new relation or affirmation, ‗tis necessary that it shou'd be observ'd and explain'd' and at the same time that a reason should be given; for what seems altogether inconceivable, how this new relation can be a deduction from others, which are entirely different from it. Hume never actually asserted what has come to be called ‗Hume's Law': that you can...
متن کاملRequirements, Oughts, Intentions
John Broome’s Rationality Through Reasoning is a book of tremendous scope, moving from foundational questions about reasons, requirements, and oughts to more general issues concerning the architecture of a rational agent and, especially, the process of reasoning through which such an agent could bring itself to satisfy the requirements of rationality. Although Broome explores a number of these ...
متن کاملChisholm's Paradox and Conditional Oughts
Since it was presented in 1963, Chisholm’s paradox has attracted constant attention in the deontic logic literature, but without the emergence of any definitive solution. We claim this is due to its having no single solution. The paradox actually presents many challenges to the formalization of deontic statements, including (1) context sensitivity of unconditional oughts, (2) formalizing condit...
متن کاملFrom Conditional Oughts to Qualitative Decision Theory
The primary theme of this investigation is a decision theoretic account of conditional ought statements (e.g., "You ought to do A, if C") that rectifies glaring deficiencies in classical deontic logic. The resulting account forms a sound basis for qualitative decision theory, thus providing a framework for qualitative planning under uncertainty. In particular, we show that adding causal relatio...
متن کاملDynamic Thoughts on Ifs and Oughts
Iffy oughts figure prominently in a variety of paradoxes of deontic logic. A satisfying response to these paradoxes is a non-negotiable component of any adequate semantic story about conditionals and deontic modals. I demonstrate that such a story can be told but doing so requires that we supplement a semantics that pays proper attention to the sensitivity of ifs and oughts to contextual inform...
