Abstract

In this paper we follow the BOID (Belief, Obligation, Intention,
Desire) architecture to describe agents and agent types in
Defeasible Logic. We argue, in particular, that the introduction of
obligations can provide a new reading of the concepts of intention
and intentionality. Then we examine the notion of social agent
(i.e., an agent where obligations prevail over intentions) and
discuss some computational and philosophical issues related to it.
We show that the notion of social agent either requires more complex
computations or has some philosophical drawbacks.
