From the preface: "This book is addressed to philosophers and students of philosophy who want to use formal logic as a tool of their trade. It presupposes only the familiarity with truth-functions and quantifiers that is gained in a one-semester introduction to symbolic logic. It is designed to present in as clear and straightforward a way as possible a set of techniques for manipulating formal systems of modal logic and the related interpretative devices and for developing further systems of modal logic to meet specific contextual needs.".
