x I wish to express my thanks to all contributors to this volume
for their collaboration, and especially to Professor laakko
Hintikka, Editor of Synthese Library, for his help in editing this
book. THE EDITOR INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND IMPRESSION The articles
included in this collection represent what may be called the
standard modal approach to deontic logic (the logic of normative
concepts), in which deontic logic is treated as a branch of modal
logic, and the normative concepts of obligation, permission
(permissibility) and prohibi- tion are regarded as analogous to the
'alethic' modalities necessity, possi- bility and impossibility. In
his recent paper [16] Simo Knuuttila has shown that this approach
can be traced back to late medieval philosophy. Several 14th
century philosophers observed the analogies between deontic and
alethic modalities and 4iscussed the deontic interpretations of
various laws of modal logic. A relatively simple deontic system of
this kind (called the system D or K D; cf. Lemmon and Scott [17],
pp. 50-51, Chellas [10], p. 131) is obtained by adding to
propositional logic two deontic axioms (or axiom schemata), (K) O(A
:::J B) :::J (OA :::J OB) and (D) OA :::J ~ 0 ~ A, where '0' is the
obligation operator, and the deontic variant of the 'rule of
necessitation' (0) From A, to infer ~A.
