Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, Horty effectively develops deontic logic (the logic of ethical concepts like obligation and permission) against the background of a formal theory of agency. Offering a conceptual rather than technical emphasis, Horty's framework allows a number of recent issues from moral theory to be clearly discussed from a uniform point of view.
