Most ethical systems define how the individuals ought morally act, being part of a society. The process of elicitation of a moral theory governing the agents in a society requires them to express their own norms with the aim to find a moral theory on which all may agree upon. We address this issue by proposing a formal framework that can instantiate in agents' dialogues moral/rational criteria, such as the maximin principle, Pareto efficiency, and impartiality, which were used, e.g., by John Rawls' theory or rule utilitarianism.

Abstract

Most ethical systems define how the individuals ought morally act, being part of a society. The process of elicitation of a moral theory governing the agents in a society requires them to express their own norms with the aim to find a moral theory on which all may agree upon. We address this issue by proposing a formal framework that can instantiate in agents' dialogues moral/rational criteria, such as the maximin principle, Pareto efficiency, and impartiality, which were used, e.g., by John Rawls' theory or rule utilitarianism.
