Reasoning with Priorities: Broadening the Scope

In prioritized reasoning, we rely on degrees of importance, plausibility, specificity, recency, etc. to solve certain logical problems. A range of models has been proposed for these kinds of reasoning. In my project, (i) I want to further develop some of these models, and (ii) I want to study the way priorities arise in the first place.
