Towards Non-Monotonic Entailment in Propositional Defeasible Standpoint Logic
The paper discusses advancements in propositional defeasible standpoint logic, focusing on non-monotonic entailment. It proposes a method to extend the expressivity of this logic through situated standpoint conditionals. The authors aim to facilitate entailment-checking using algorithms from the propositional case while maintaining complexity bounds.
- ▪The research addresses non-monotonic entailment in propositional defeasible standpoint logic.

However, work in this field has focussed primarily on satisfiability checking, and monotonic notions of entailment, which may be inferentially weak.
