Almotahari, Mahrad; Rabern, Brian
- Abstract
The article delves into the logic of obligations and necessities, highlighting the relationship between them. It discusses how the logic of necessity, as well as the standard theory of deontic modals, can be used to analyze obligations in natural language. The article also addresses challenges related to expressing the onus to act in 'ought'-statements and raises questions about how the standard theory captures the nuances of obligations.
