M\=im\=a\d{m}s\=a deontic logic: proof theory and applications

Logic in Computer Science 2017-05-10 v1

Abstract

Starting with the deontic principles in M\={\i}m\=a\d{m}s\=a texts we introduce a new deontic logic. We use general proof-theoretic methods to obtain a cut-free sequent calculus for this logic, resulting in decidability, complexity results and neighbourhood semantics. The latter is used to analyse a well known example of conflicting obligations from the Vedas.
