            Abstract : 
An approach for reasoning with preferences and ethical values is presented. The proposed system is based in logic, and it allows a person to iteratively modify his or her actions. preferences, or ethics in order to maintain consistency. The system is based on relational set theory and is implemented in Prolog.<>
