Revue de presse
Reviews of first edition: "This is an excellent book. Girle not only knows logic, he also knows how it ought to be taught in ways that students find accessible. In this book, we see the fruits of Girle's efforts in teaching modal logic to advanced philosophy students. The results bear all of the marks of Girle's distinctive style. It is accessible, packed full of interesting, useful examples, and just the right amount of detail necessary to illuminate the core ideas." --Greg Restall, Australasian Journal of Philosophy
"Rod Girle is the best logic teacher that I know. All those who want a non-technical introduction to modal logic and its applications will now be able to benefit from his outstanding pedagogic skills." --Graham Priest, Graduate Center, City University of New York and University of Melbourne
"Modal Logics and Philosophy has the technical precision and rigour that is sometimes sacrificed to concern with philosophical logic. A book that will stand out amongst modal logic texts." --Bernard Linsky, University of Alberta
