This volume presents the refereed proceedings of the 12th
International Conference on Deontic Logic and Normative Systems,
DEON 2014, held in Ghent, Belgium, in July 2014. The 17 revised
papers and the 2 invited papers included in this volume were
carefully reviewed and selected from 31 submissions. Topics covered
include challenges from natural language for deontic logic; the
relationship between deontic and other types of modality: epistemic
modality, imperatives, supererogatory, etc.; the deontic paradoxes;
the modeling of normative concepts other than obligation and
permission, e.g., values; the game-theoretical aspects of deontic
reasoning; the emergence of norms; norms from a conversational and
pragmatic point of view; and norms and argumentation.
It is commonly assumed that we conceive of the past and the future
as symmetrical. In this book, Fabrizio Cariani develops a new
theory of future-directed discourse and thought that shows that our
linguistic and philosophical conceptions of the past and future
are, in fact, fundamentally different. Future thought and talk,
Cariani suggests, are best understood in terms of a systematic
analogy with counterfactual thought and talk, and are not just
mirror images of the past. Cariani makes this case by developing
detailed formal semantic theories as well as by advancing less
technical views about the nature of future-directed judgment and
prediction. His book addresses in a thought-provoking way several
important debates in contemporary philosophy, and his synthesis of
parallel threads of research will benefit scholars in the
philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology, linguistics and
cognitive science.
