The Logic and Semantics of Modal Propositions in Juan Caramuel

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2005

Abstract

The article introduces logical doctrine of modalities in Juan Caramuel y Lobkowicz. It focuses on his understanding of contingency and the issue of including the mode of liberty among the modals.

Caramuel's treatment of modalities is interesting because besides logical modes, he analyzes some relationships among epistemic modalities as well.
