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 Duns Scotus and Ockham and papers of Wallis or Leibniz) is only mentioned.
