We say such things as: ?By necessity, John Tylor was not Jewish; no US-president ever was?; ?The rooks cannot move diagonally?; ?It is still possible for you to catch the train?; ?I am necessarily only in one place at a time?; ?Peter will inevitably die; there is no antidote to the venom of the snake that bit him?. These differences are not sufficiently explained by distinctions between different types of modalities like alethic and deontic, or by different bases of evaluation like the speaker?s knowledge or an object?s history. They can, however, be clarified and more systematically defined by establishing a new field of modal differentiation, which we may call ?modal pragmatics?. Apart from analyzing ordinary language, this may be helpful in formulating ontological theses. 410 0$aScho?ningh, Fink and mentis Religious Studies, Theology and Philosophy E-Books Online, Collection 2025. 606 $aFormal necessity 606 $amaterial necessity 606 $aconditioned necessity 606 $anecessity de re 606 $atime 606 $aessentialism 606 $afacticity 606 $ahappenstance 606 $aordinary language 615 4$aFormal necessity 615 4$amaterial necessity 615 4$aconditioned necessity 615 4$anecessity de re 615 4$atime 615 4$aessentialism 615 4$afacticity 615 4$ahappenstance 615 4$aordinary language 676 $a111 700 $aUtz$b Konrad$4aut$01793893 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910984502403321 996 $aModal Pragmatics$94334214 997 $aUNINA
