Review text

This article is an introduction to a collection of papers on defeasible deontic logic. As such, its primary purpose is to set the stage for those papers. Thus it presents the background of (non-defeasible) standard deontic logic (SDL) and the various deontic paradoxes. In light especially of Chisholm's Contrary-to-Duty paradox, it describes various systems of dyadic deontic logic that have been proposed to cope with that paradox, and their shortcomings. This prepares the way for the defeasibilist approach to deontic reasoning. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0885.00033].
