Focusing on the evolution of modal logic within analytic philosophy, this volume explores key developments from the late 19th to the 20th century. It highlights the contributions of Saul Kripke, who introduced innovative modal systems, and W.V.O. Quine, who challenged established concepts of meaning and reference. The text examines the historical trajectory of modal logic, beginning with C. I. Lewis's critiques and extending through significant works by Ruth Marcus and Rudolph Carnap, culminating in a discussion of Kripke's influential "Naming and Necessity."
