H. Wessel on Modalities - Dictionary of Arguments
I 343 Modality/Wessel: Def alethic m.: in the narrow sense modal: necessary, possible, contingent, real. >Necessity, >Possibility, >Contingency, >Reality. Alethic m.: can be logically or factually (ontological, empirical, physical, causal, etc.) - modal statements often are often translatable into non-modal form: E.g. "divisible". >Operations, >Operationalism. Modality/Wessel: in the broader sense: "provable", "undecidable", "verifiable" and so on. >Decidability, >Provability, >Indistinguishability. Axiological modalities: "always", "sometimes", "never", "once", "same" - Wessel: these are no modalities at all. I 347 Modality/Wessel: predicative - if fA "the facts that A" then Q (fA) "the possible fact, that" - when modality refers to situations sA. Truth value: refers to statements tA._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
