We critically consider the two main rival forms explanationism—ought-explanationism, on which reasons facts about ought, good-explanationism, goodness—as well as popular Reasons-First view, takes noti...

Modelling the concept of explanation is a central matter in AI systems, as it provides methods for developing eXplainable (XAI).

This paper extends reasoning work by Governatori et al. (2022) notion stable exp...

We study the continuation passing style (CPS) transform and its generalization, the computational transform, in which the notion of computation is generalized from continuation passing to an arbitrary one. To establish a relation between direct style and continuation passing style interpretation of sequential call-by-value programs, we prove the Retraction Theorem which says that a lambda term ...
