The contrary-to-duty paradox and the Chain Store Paradox are occurred in Deontic Logic and Game Theory respectively.It seems that these two paradoxes are irrelevant.However,treating all norms as absolute norms is the basic reason for both of those two paradoxes.Therefore,we propose the idea that by treating norms as relativity and Dyadic Deontic Logic,which we used to solve the contrary-to-duty paradox,we can successfully solve the chain store paradox.
