This long-awaited book replaces Hughes and Cresswell's two classic
studies of modal logic: An Introduction to Modal Logic and A
Companion to Modal Logic.
A New Introduction to Modal Logic is an entirely new work, completely
re-written by the authors. They have incorporated all the new
developments that have taken place since 1968 in both modal
propositional logic and modal predicate logic, without sacrificing tha
clarity of exposition and approachability that were essential features
of their earlier works.
The book takes readers from the most basic systems of modal
propositional logic right up to systems of modal predicate with
identity. It covers both technical developments such as completeness and
incompleteness, and finite and infinite models, and their philosophical
applications, especially in the area of modal predicate logic.
