2. reprinted in Practical Reasoning, edited by Joseph Raz, Oxford University Press, 1978, pp. 118-127), Roderick Chisholm provides a logic for a relation he calls 'requirement'. Chisholm's 'requirement' is not the same as my 'normative requirement', because it implies (2). See his D7, on p. 126 of the reprinted version. Chisholm's 'requirement' is my 'reasons' relation (1)
3. Deontic logic contains a notion of conditional obligation, written O(q\p), which could serve as a model for normative requirement. (See the survey in Lennart Åqvist's 'Deontic logic', in Handbook of Philosophical Logic, Volume II, edited by D. Gabbay and F. Guenthner, Reidel, 1984, pp. 605-714.) But deontic logic will not give us much help because the analysis of conditional obligation remains unsettled
