The Genesis of Possible Worlds Semantics

Journal of Philosophical Logic, 2002
In the article the author gives an interesting survey of the development of possible worlds semantics starting from the works of Wittgenstein (1913-1921), through the contribution of such authors as Feys, McKinsey, Carnap, von Wright and others, up to Bayart, Drake and -- of course -- Kripke (1958-1965). The early prehistory of this theory (in works of

POSSIBLE WORLDS SEMANTICS FOR DEFAULT LOGICS

Fundamenta Informaticae, 1994
We introduce a uniform semantical framework for various default logics in terms of Kripke structures. This possible worlds approach provides a simple but meaningful instrument for comparing existing default logics in a unified setting. The possible worlds semantics is introduced by means of constrained default logic. Also, it easily deals with Brewka's

Agnostic Possible Worlds Semantics

2012
Working within standard classical higher-order logic, we propose a possible worlds semantics (PWS) which combines the simplicity of the familiar Montague semantics (MS), in which propositions are sets of worlds, with the fine-grainedness of the older but less well-known tractarian semantics (TS) of Wittgenstein and C.I.
