- This paper is the first to formally connect prioritized normative reasoning (PNR) and argumentation. PNR enables automated reasoning with obligations, permissions and prohibitions, and its non-monotonic nature is widely acknowledged. Argumentation is a powerful approach to non-monotonic reasoning, also enabling a gradual explanation of large and complex proofs. This paper is important as the proposed formal connection enables the gradual explanation of non-monotonic normative reasoning to take place. The paper provides formal proofs of results and properties of the formal connection between the approaches.
