Konyndyk K. Introductory Modal Logic

University of Notre Dame Press, 1986. — 144 p.Modal logic, developed as an extension of classical propositional logic and first-order quantification theory, integrates the notions of possibility and necessity and necessary implication. Arguments whose understanding depends on some fundamental knowledge of modal logic have always been important in philosophy of religion, metaphysics, and epistemology. Moreover, modal logic has become increasingly important with the use of the concept of “possible worlds” in these areas. The book fills the need for a basic text on modal logic, accessible to students of elementary symbolic logic.
