This volume contains a selection of papers presented at a Seminar
on Intensional Logic held at the University of Amsterdam during the
period September 1990-May 1991. Modal logic, either as a topic or
as a tool, is common to most of the papers in this volume. A number
of the papers are con cerned with what may be called well-known or
traditional modal systems, but, as a quick glance through this
volume will reveal, this by no means implies that they walk the
beaten tracks. In deed, such contributions display new directions,
new results, and new techniques to obtain familiar results. Other
papers in this volume are representative examples of a current
trend in modal logic: the study of extensions or adaptations of the
standard sys tems that have been introduced to overcome various
shortcomings of the latter, especially their limited expressive
power. Finally, there is another major theme that can be discerned
in the vol ume, a theme that may be described by the slogan
'representing changing information. ' Papers falling under this
heading address long-standing issues in the area, or present a
systematic approach, while a critical survey and a report
contributing new techniques are also included. The bulk of the
papers on pure modal logic deal with theoreti calor even
foundational aspects of modal systems."
