Abstract

Most of the recent work in deontic logic has concentrated on problems concerning “conditional obligation”. I’ve felt for a long time that this has been a mistake. A proper theory of conditional obligation, like one of “conditional quantification”, will be the product of two separate components: a theory of the conditional, and a theory of obligation.
