Horty, John F.
john Horty Effectively Develops Deontic Logic (the Logic Of Ethical Concepts Like Obligation And Permission) Against The Background Of A Formal Theory Of Agency. He Incorporates Certain Elements Of Decision Theory To Set Out A New Deontic Account Of What Agents Ought To Do Under Various Conditions Over Extended Periods Of Time. Offering A Conceptual Rather Than Technical Emphasis, Horty's Framework Allows A Number Of Recent Issues From Moral Theory To Be Set Out Clearly And Discussed From A Uniform Point Of View.
