Deontic logic and possible worlds semantics: A historical sketch (Q2639845): Difference between revisions

This paper presents a historical description of the development of possible worlds semantics for monadic deontic logic during the `50's and `60's. It emphasizes the pioneering work of Kanger, Hintikka and Montague, which is then viewed in light of Kripke models, which in turn was followed by the systems of, e.g., W. Hanson and Åqvist.
