Abstract

The aim of this paper is to raise awareness of some issues in designing (formal) models for norm change. I start by positioning this research in a broader context. Then I will briefly recall several concepts and problems from deontic logic, which is the field primarily concerned with notions like `norm', `obligation', `right', etc. Then I proceed with what I regard the main contribution of the paper: the distinction of four categories of problems one faces when thinking about formal logical models for norm change.
