The social perspective plays a role in our deontic reasoning in at least three different ways. First, it determines <em>the way norms are adopted and updated<\/em>. How individual and group agents relate to one another (e.g. via a social network or as part of an institution) is essential for the norms these agents endorse, and for the way their norms change. Second, social interaction is essential for <em>the way normative language is used and interpreted<\/em>: deontic terms can acquire meaning via social conventions, and we use deontic terms to communicate our ethical stances to one another, and to convince each other of the rationality of certain choices. Third, the social dimension is also essential in <em>the way we evaluate norms<\/em>: often, obligations cannot be properly explained in terms of a single normative code or one individual agent\u2019s attitudes. Instead, one needs to refer to the preferences, goals, and norms of several agents, and to lift these to the group level in order to specify what ought to be done.<\/p>\n<p>The conference is open to any contribution concerning deontic logic and normative systems. We however particularly welcome all contributions that relate to the special theme. Some examples of questions that can be addressed in connection with the theme are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the logical structure of social obligations and permissions? How do they relate to individual obligations and permissions?<\/li>\n<li>How should one interpret the various paradoxes of Standard Deontic Logic from the viewpoint of a social, interactive use of deontic terms?<\/li>\n<li>What type of norms govern our interaction and in particular, communication? Can we study these norms using (variants of) existing deontic logics?<\/li>\n<li>How are we to analyse the natural language forms that encode social relations, such as honorifics, address terms and allocative markers, in semantic and pragmatic theory?<\/li>\n<li>How do social relations, whether grammatically encoded or not, affect the interpretation of deontic and other modal expressions in natural language?<\/li>\n<li>How does norm change and norm update behave in the presence of networks?<\/li>\n<li>How do different perspectives on the evaluation of norms in social terms (e.g. individual vs. social, \u201cflat groups\u201d vs. networks of agents, in terms of explicit agreements vs. in terms of a social choice function) cash out in terms of formal logics?<\/li>\n<li>Can we suitably combine deontic logics and formal frameworks for reasoning about networks? What formal and philosophical hurdles should first be taken in order to merge these two lines of research?<\/li>\n<li>Can deontic terms such as <em>must, ought, may<\/em> acquire their meaning via social conventions? Could such a meaning acquisition be captured via a combination of logical and game theoretic tools?<\/li>\n<li>How do rights and duties of institutions relate to those of their members from a legal and political perspective? How can this relation be represented formally?<a class=\"g-fnlink-top\" title=\"top\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mcmp.philosophie.uni-muenchen.de\/events\/workshops\/container\/deon-2020\/index.html#top\">top<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a name=\"submission-details\"><\/a>Submission Details<\/h2>\n<p>Authors are invited to submit an original, previously unpublished, short research paper pertaining to any of these topics.<\/p>\n<p>The paper should be in English, anonymized, and should be no longer than 15 pages when formatted according to the LaTeX specification that can be downloaded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/no8ncwg8bqx5l4l\/AABgnFBbe0GjCVncr8POtn_ua?dl=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.
