Quantification and modalities have always been topics of great
interest for logicians. These two themes emerged from philosophy and
language in ancient times; they were studied by traditional informal
methods until the 20th century. In the last century the tools became
highly mathematical, and both modal logic and quantification found
numerous applications in Computer Science. At the same time many other
kinds of nonclassical logics were investigated and applied to Computer
Science.
Although there exist several good books in propositional modal logics,
this book is the first detailed monograph in nonclassical first-order
quantification. It includes results obtained during the past thirty
years. The field is very large, so we confine ourselves with only two
kinds of logics: modal and superintuitionistic. The main emphasis of
Volume 1 is model-theoretic, and it concentrates on descriptions of
different sound semantics and completeness problem --- even for these
seemingly simple questions we have our hands full. The major part of
the presented material has never been published before. Some results
are very recent, and for other results we either give new proofs or
first proofs in full detail.
