This textbook places emphasis on showing how useful a tool modal logic can be for formal philosophy, metaphysics, temporal reasoning, epistemics, the analysis of action and processes and ethical reasoning.

This textbook is intended as an introductory study of modal logics with philosophy. In part 1 the reader is introduced to some standard systems of modal logic, emphasis being on world semantics for modal logics. Part 2 explores modal logic applications to profound philosophical issues.

Revue de presse
"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
>"Rod Girle is the best logic teacher 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
"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
