Paul McNamara

Paul McNamara is known for his work in deontic logic, which is the study of principles related to duty and permission. In this context, McNamara explored how we understand obligations, permissions, and prohibitions within logic. He focused on how these concepts can be formally represented, helping to clarify ethical reasoning and decision-making. His contributions address the complexities of how people reason about what they ought to do or are allowed to do, providing a clearer framework for analyzing moral and legal reasoning.
