Abstract: this paper is to establish some formal connections between deontic and nonmonotonic logics, and to suggest some ways in which the techniques developed in the study of nonmonotonic reasoning and the issues confronted there might help to illuminate deontic ideas. These two subjects have evolved within different disciplines. The field of deontic logic was developed by philosophers and legal theorists as a high level framework for describing valid patterns of normative reasoning. The study of... (Update)

.... of the fact that current non monotonic or defeasible formalisms treat conditional obligation as a normal default (see e.g. [Hor94,Mak94,Pra93,TvT94]) However, perfectly understandable examples of nested conditionals occur both in ordinary language and in legal contexts....
.... factual detachment in the deontic setting, and recently several complex default reasoning schemes have been applied to this problem [18, 20]. We propose a simple solution based on the following observation: to determine preferences based on certain actual facts, we consider...
