  1. Ideal Worlds — Wishful Thinking in Deontic Logic.Sven Ove Hansson - 2006 - Studia Logica 82 (3):329-336.

The latter analysis is roughly this: one ought prima facie to perform those actions which are such that those accessible worlds in which they are performed are better than the closest accessible worlds in which they are not performed. Accounts of conditional obligation, both absolute (...)
