“…One can, alternatively, consider moral prescriptions a matter of attitude or feeling rather than fact (Subjectivism), or even as part of a social contract or even a matter of persuasion (non-naturalism), in which case the moral properties are not to be found in moral language itself.

“…But both imperative moods and illocutionary attachments (Searle, 1969) complicate attempts to derive new prescriptions from previous ones logically, since the statements that belong to those paradigms are not truth-apt and have no explicit intentional operators that would allow them to drop properties (MATURANO, 2015). One can push the cognitivism envelope and start from the propositional content implicit in imperative statements to perform logical inferences, but those will lead to logical imperatives that will most often lead to paradoxes and puzzles (HANSEN, 2008). One can, alternatively, consider moral prescriptions a matter of attitude or feeling rather than fact (Subjectivism), or even as part of a social contract or even a matter of persuasion (non-naturalism), in which case the moral properties are not to be found in moral language itself.…”

This study seeks to support an interdisciplinary, theory-practice integrated work on the applied ethics of information and communication technologies (ICT). Current work on applied ICT ethics is of a disciplinary nature and seeks to apply traditional philosophical norms to novel situations that are not easily identified by analogy to previous cases. I propose an alternative view in which ICTs are seen as a moral environment and ethical agents are seen as human-computer hybrids (cyborgs) whose experiences acquire ethical value ecologically. To implement such a view, I propose employing two different kinds of semiotics: a semiotics of meaning-making that is open to the environmental effects of cyborg acts across scales, and a material semiotics that allows for interdisciplinary practitioners to recognize the modes of existence involved in the ethical issues and work out better means-ends relationships among the modes pertinent to each discipline. Keywords: ICTs; applied ethics; applied linguistics; post-humanism, meaning-making.Resumo: Esta pesquisa busca apoiar um trabalho interdisciplinar que integre teoria e prática acerca de uma ética aplicada das tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação. O trabalho atual em ética aplicada das TIC é de natureza disciplinar e busca aplicar normas filosóficas tradicionais às novas situações as quais não são facilmente identificadas por analogia a casos anteriores. Eu proponho uma visão alternativa pela qual as TIC são vistas como um ambiente ético e os agentes éticos são vistos como híbridos humanocomputador (ciborgues) cujas experiências adquirem valor ético ecologicamente. Para implementar esta visão, proponho que se empregue dois tipos distintos de semiótica: uma semiótica da significação que esteja aberta aos efeitos ambientais das atividades dos ciborgues em diferentes escalas, e uma semiótica material que permita aos praticantes de diferentes disciplinas reconhecerem os modos de existência envolvidos nas questões éticas e buscarem melhores relações do tipo meio-fim entre os modos implicados por cada disciplina. Palavras-chave: TIC; ética aplicada; linguística aplicada; pós-humanismo; significação. This paper presents the initial results of a research project aimed at achieving a metadiscursive/metatheoretical reasoning framework for an applied ethics of ICTs viewed as postsocial/post-human ethics of the here and now. These are philosophical and analytical-methodological perspectives that have a longstanding tradition, however short, in the digital humanities and social sciences, which most readers are probably already aware of to some degree. While pointing the readers to the works of Katherine Hayles (1999, 2011) and Karen Knorr-Cetina (1997, 2001, 2005 for a panoramic introduction to those traditions, I would like these terms, as used here, to refer to the definitions that follow."Postsocial" is a sociological perspective that emphasizes object relations as well as subject relations in explanations of social behavior. It recognizes that epistemic objec...

Normative Conflicts and The Logic of ‘Ought’

On the face of it, normative conflicts are commonplace. Yet standard deontic logic declares them to be logically impossible. That prompts the question, What are the proper principles of normative reasoning if such conflicts are possible? This paper examines several alternatives that have been proposed for a logic of 'ought' that can accommodate normative conflicts, and finds all of them unsatisfactory as measured against three criteria of adequacy. It then introduces a new logic that does meet all three criteria, and so allows for the possibility of genuine normative conflicts.

“…In [42], Hansen shows that some problems still happen when dealing with multimodal deontic logic, which gives a temporal aspect to obligations. In [43], Maranhão concentrates on von Wright's vision of deontic logic in his works after [44], in which he states that there is no logic of norms, and that deontic logic is actually about normative entailment.…”

This study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior -Brasil (CAPES) -Finance Code 001.I would like to thank CNPq for financially funding my studies (process number 141290/2019-6).First and foremost, I would like to thank both Hermann and Cláudia, which provided advice and guidance in the writing of this document, as well as some much needed reality checks. If not for them this work would probably would not have taken shape. I also thank my colleagues at TecMF for the academic exchanges and camaraderie along the years.I am also very grateful for those who help me to distract from the existential dread of writing a thesis, my friends, but most importantly, my boyfriend. When I'm with you it seems as if there is not a care in the world. I love you very much. Also, sorry to all of you for not being that much of a social butterfly these past months -now I intend to make up for lost time.Last, but not least, I would like to thank my mother, who always supports me in my professional and academical pursuits, and my father, who never failed to provide for us, sacrificing even his own stability when he needed it most. I love you both and I miss you, dad. This work is dedicated to you.

The Paradoxes of Deontic Logic: Alive and Kicking

Abstract: In a recent paper, Sven Danielsson argued that the 'original paradoxes' of deontic logic, in particular Ross's paradox and Prior's paradox of derived obligation, can be solved by restricting the modal inheritance rule. I argue that this does not solve the paradoxes.
