N2 - It is well known that systems of action deontic logic emerging from a standard analysis of permission in terms of possibility of
doing an action without incurring in a violation of the law are subject to paradoxes. In general, paradoxes are acknowledged
as such if we have intuitions telling us that things should be different. The aim of this paper is to introduce a paradox-free
deontic action system by (i) identifying the basic intuitions leading to the emergence of the paradoxes and (ii) exploiting
these intuitions in order to develop a consistent deontic framework, where it can be shown why some phenomena seem to be
paradoxical and why they are not so if interpreted in a correct way.
