==Description==
'''Permission''', in [[philosophy]], is the [[attribute]] of a [[person]] whose [[performance]] of a specific [[action]], otherwise ethically wrong, would thereby involve no ethical fault. The term "permission" is more commonly used to refer to [[consent]]. Consent is the legal [[embodiment]] of the [[concept]], in which approval is given to another party. Permissions depend on [[norms]] or [[institutions]].

Many permissions and [[obligations]] are [[complementary]] to each other, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deontic_logic deontic logic] is a [[tool]] sometimes used in reasoning about such [[relationships]].
