Abstract
(en) In a preceding article ( "von Wright's Action revisited: Actions as Morphisms", this journal, vol. 49, n° 193, 2006, pp. 85-115), starting from von Wright’s ideas, we have proposed to investigate the idea that action depends in a fundamental way on a set of conditions. This has led us to define action as a mapping from a set of conditions, essentially described as a set of incompatible formulas, to results, described as formulas. The aim of the present paper is to explore some axiomatizations inspired by that approach. The systems are presented in the algebraic style.
