Beschreibung

This book offers the first-ever English translation of Oskar Becker’s Zur Logik der Modalitäten. This essay, published in 1930, is a pioneering yet often neglected contribution in the context of prewar modal logic research in Europe.

Stimmen zu »Oskar Becker, On the Logic of Modalities (1930): Translation, Commentary and Analysis«

“The book should appeal to a wide audience – both to readers engaged with the technical aspects of modal logic, and to those more interested in its conceptual foundations and philosophical implications. By bridging formal results with broader interpretative insights, it offers something valuable to specialists and generalists alike.” (Xavier Parent, zbMATH 1566.03008, 2025)
