Abstract
This book introduces the main concepts and formal issues about modal logics, while also engaging the major philosophical debates such formal systems gave rise to. In Chapters I and II, Marcello Frixione presents the notion of a possible world from the standpoint of some theoretical problems in the philosophy of language and shows how a possible world semantics is applied to the main systems of alethic modal logic. In Chapters III and IV, Samuele Iaquinto introduces deontic, tense, conditional, and epistemic logics. In Chapters V, VI, and VII Massimiliano Vignolo addresses quantified modal logic and the main philosophical issues it gives rise to, such as the construal of de re modal statements and the problem of mere possibilia.
