Abstract

Since its inception in 1984, several ‘simple’ solutions have been proposed to answer the deepest paradox of deontic logic. In this paper, I present the simplest one yet: the deepest paradox is simply ill-formulated.

Keywords

Deontic logic; paradox of gentle murder; the deepest paradox of deontic logic; imperatives; indicatives.
