| Publisher Description: Subtitled "An Introduction to Material Modal Logic," this monograph explores modal logic from a realist perspective on possibility that, following Aristotle and Kant, grounds possibility in actuality and thus provides a material, rather than merely formal, interpretation of basic modal notions. It then applies this material modal logic to the understanding of contingent being and the existence of a necessary being serving as "the ground of all possibility." |
