Acts of Promising in Dynamified Deontic Logic
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, the logic of acts of commanding ECL II introduced in Yamada (2007b) will be extended in order to model acts of promising together with acts of commanding. Effects of both kinds of acts are captured in terms, not of changes they bring about on propositional attitudes of their addressees, but of changes they bring about on deontic status of relevant action alternatives; they are modeled as deontic updators. This enables us to see how an act of promising performed by an agent and an act of commanding performed by another agent can jointly bring about a conflict of obligations. Complete axiomatization will be presented, and a comparison with Searle’s treatment of acts of promising in his argument for the derivability of “ought” from “is” will be made.

Dynamic Logic of Propositional Commitments
A number of systems of dynamic epistemic logic have been developed recently as extensions of static epistemic logic by Plaza [11], Gerbrandy & Groeneveld [5], Gerbrandy [4], Baltag, Moss & Solecki [2], and Kooi & van Benthem [7] among others.2 In these systems, dynamic changes brought about by various kinds of information transmission including public announcements as well as private communicat...
متن کاملActs of Requesting in Dynamic Logic of Knowledge and Obligation
Although it seems intuitively clear that acts of requesting are different from acts of commanding, it is not very easy to sate their differences precisely in dynamic terms. In this paper we show that it becomes possible to characterize, at least partially, the effects of acts of requesting and compare them with the effects of acts of commanding by combining dynamified deontic logic with epistem...

This thesis is concerned with developing an update semantics to model the speech act of promising, under various philosophical frameworks. There are two main families of promissory framework, conventional and expectational, we offer a hybrid account which makes up for the deficiencies found with both. We also discuss promises in relation to other obligation-creating speech acts to derive a set ...

For example,...
متن کاملActs of Commanding and Changing Obligations
If we are to take the notion of speech act seriously, we must be able to treat speech acts as acts. In what follows, I will try to model changes brought about by various acts of commanding in terms of a variant of update logic. I will combine a multi-agent variant of the language of monadic deontic logic with a dynamic language to talk about the situations before and after the issuance of comma...
