Permission (philosophy)

Permission (philosophy)

Permission, in philosophy, is the attribute of a person whose performance of a specific action, otherwise ethically wrong, would thereby involve no ethical fault.Fact|date=February 2008 Consent is a legal embodiment of the concept.

Permissions depend on norms or institutions.

Many permissions and obligations are complementary to each other, and deontic logic is a tool sometimes used in reasoning about such relationships.
