(LaTeX) Abstract:
In this paper we propose an exception logic - formalizing reasoning about exceptions. We use
this logic to defend two claims. First, we argue that default logic - formalizing reasoning about
default assumptions - is an extension of exception logic. A deconstruction argument shows that
reasoning about exceptions is one of the first principles of reasoning about default assumptions.
Second, we argue that two phases have to be distinguished in reasoning about exceptions, and
therefore also in reasoning about default assumptions. We identify two causes of the distinction
between two phases, the disjunction rule OR and right weakening RW. This sheds some new
light on these `standard' (according to the Kraus-Lehmann-Magidor paradigm) properties of
default inference.
Keywords:
default logic, nonmonotonic logic, conditional logic
