This book on modal logic is especially designed for philosophy
students. It provides an accessible yet technically sound treatment
of modal logic and its philosophical applications. Every effort is
made to simplify the presentation by using diagrams instead of more
complex mathematical apparatus. These and other innovations provide
philosophers with easy access to a rich variety of topics in modal
logic, including a full coverage of quantified modal logic,
non-rigid designators, definite descriptions, and the de-re
de-dicto distinction. Discussion of philosophical issues concerning
the development of modal logic is woven into the text. The book
uses natural deduction systems, which are widely regarded as the
easiest to teach and use. It also includes a diagram technique that
extends the method of truth trees to modal logic. This provides a
foundation for a novel method for showing completeness that is easy
to extend to quantifiers. This second edition contains a new
chapter on logics of conditionals, an updated and expanded
bibliography, and is updated throughout.
