Defeasible reasoning with legal conditionals.
Valid conclusions can be defeated if people can think of conditions that prevent the consequent to occur although the antecedent is given. The goal of the present research was to investigate how people consider these conditions when reasoning with legal conditionals such as "If a person kills another human, then this person should be punished for manslaughter." In Experiments 1 and 2 legal cond...
متن کاملWhy Is Legal Reasoning Defeasible ? ∗ Juan
This paper analyses the claim that legal reasoning is defeasible, which is indeed a hallmark of some major contributions to the theory of legal reasoning in recent times. Before addressing the question of what kind of logical tools are needed to formalize defeasible reasoning, it must be explained why legal reasoning is supposed to be defeasible in the first place. Some arguments to this effect...
متن کاملDefeasible Reasoning with Quantifiers
Human conditional reasoning is defeasible: people withdraw logically valid conclusions if they are aware of situations (i.e., exceptions) that prevent the consequent of the rule to happen although the antecedent is given. In this paper we investigate defeasible reasoning with quantified rules. In two experiments we rephrased conditionals from the literature (Experiment 1) and rules from penal c...
متن کاملImplementing Temporal Defeasible Logic for Modeling Legal Reasoning
In this paper we briefly present an efficient implementation of temporal defeasible logic, and we argue that it can be used to efficiently capture the the legal concepts of persistence, retroactivity and periodicity. In particular, we illustrate how the system works with a real life example of a regulation.
متن کاملDefeasible Reasoning with Structured Information
There is a wide variety of approaches to formalising non-monotonic reasoning, and even though some relationships between formalisms have been established, there is a lack of appropriate general frameworks to support such analyses. There have been some successes such as using general properties of the consequence relation as a frame-but these only provide relatively high level views on the forma...
