Two Approaches to the Formalisation of Defeasible Deontic Reasoning
This paper compares two ways of formalising defeasible deontic reasoning , both based on the view that the issues of connicting obligations and moral dilemmas should be dealt with from the perspective of nonmonotonic reasoning. The rst way is developing a special non-monotonic logic for deontic statements. This method turns out to have some limitations, for which reason another approach is reco...
متن کاملModelling Morality with Prospective Logic
This paper shows how moral decisions can be drawn computationally by using prospective logic programs. These are employed to model moral dilemmas, as they are able to prospectively look ahead at the consequences of hypothetical moral judgments. With this knowledge of consequences, moral rules are then used to decide the appropriate moral judgments. The whole moral reasoning is achieved via a pr...
متن کاملExamining the Moral and Ethical Dilemmas of Creating Savior Siblings
This study examines the moral and ethical aspects of creating savior siblings using Kant’s moral-philosophical theory and Beauchamp and Childress’s (B&C) principles of medical ethics. In this study, the researchers argue that three of the four clusters of the principles of B&C framework are derived from common morality and Kant’s ethics. Besides, the second part of this article is designed as a...
متن کاملA non-monotonic extension of universal moral grammar theory
We extend universal moral grammar theory (UMGT) with nonmonotonic logic. Our experiment shows that such revision is necessary as it allows to account for the effects of alleviations and aggravations in moral reasoning. Our new theory updates UMGT from classical to non-monotonic logic, which reflects the incompleteness of information and uncertainty in actual human reasoning. In addition, it pro...
متن کاملMoral Decision Making with ACORDA
This paper shows how moral decisions can be drawn computationally by using ACORDA, a working implementation of prospective logic programming. ACORDA is employed to model moral dilemmas, as they are able to prospectively look ahead at the consequences of hypothetical moral judgments. With this knowledge of consequences, moral rules are then used to decide the appropriate moral judgments. The who...
