The contributions demonstrate that Barcan Marcus’s original and clear ideas have had a formative influence on the direction in which certain themes central to today’s philosophical debate have developed. Furthermore, the volume includes an illuminating intellectual autobiography from Barcan Marcus herself as well as an informal interview containing her unfiltered, frank answers. The book brings together contributions by Ruth Barcan Marcus, Timothy Williamson, Dagfinn Føllesdal, Joëlle Proust, Pascal Engel, Edgar Morscher, Erik J. Olsson, and Michael Frauchiger.Lauener library of analytical philosophy ;Volume 3.Modality (Logic)LogicModal logicquantificationrationalityModality (Logic)Logic.191Frauchiger Michaeledt1499409Frauchiger MichaelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797815703321Modalities, identity, belief, and moral dilemmas3783012UNINA
