PHIL 29.01 Of Time and Necessity: Philosophy of Logic
Often we reason about what is now, actually the case. But often we also reason about what was or will be. Or about what could or might or would have been; or about what must be, even if some things could have been otherwise. What are the correct rules for this? What, if anything, makes them correct? We shall develop some elementary parts of modal and temporal logic and consider their interpretation and philosophical significance.
