Modal Persistence and Modal Travel [PDF]

open access: possibleRatio, 2014
AbstractWe argue that there is an interesting modal analogue of temporal persistence, namely modal persistence, and an interesting modal analogue of time travel, namely modal travel. We explicate each of these notions and then argue that there are plausible conditions under which some ordinary objects modally persist. We go on to consider whether it is

Modalization and Modalities

1991
In part I. of this essay we attempt to articulate Husserl’s phenomenological descriptions for the genesis of the primitive logical connectives, negation and disjunction. In part II. we describe possible worlds models for the use of disjunction and negation in epistemic contexts and contexts relating to the analysis of meanings. Finally, in part III, we

Modal Scepticism, Unqualified Modality, and Modal Kinds

Philosophia, 2011
I formulate and defend two sceptical theses on specific parts of our modal knowledge (unqualified and absolute modalities). My main point is that unqualified modal sentences are defective in that they fail to belong unambiguously to specific modal kinds and thus cannot be evaluated; hence, we must be sceptical of beliefs involving them.

Modal Logic

2001
This is an advanced 2001 textbook on modal logic, a field which caught the attention of computer scientists in the late 1970s. Researchers in areas ranging from economics to computational linguistics have since realised its worth. The book is for novices and for more experienced readers, with two distinct tracks clearly signposted at the start of each ...

Two Concepts of Modality

Journal of Philosophy, 1986
AbstractIn the first part of this chapter, I sketch out three grades of modal realism. After developing modal realism, I examine David Lewis's modal theory. I argue that Lewis's theory satisfies none of the grades of modal realism, and that it is really a case of modal reductionism. In particular, I demonstrate that Counterpart Theory is a rejection of

Modal Truncation in Experimental Modal Analysis

2018
Some methods in experimental modal analysis rely on a finite set of modes and they neglect the higher modes. However, this approach causes a truncation of the modal decomposition and the modal truncation introduces errors of unknown magnitude. In this paper the effect of modal truncation is investigated on a test specimen in the laboratory. It is found
