18 Brief History Segerberg s Essay K. Segerberg. An Essay on Classical Modal Logic. Uppsula Technical Report, This essay purports to deal with classical modal logic. The qualification classical has not yet been given an established meaning in connection with modal logic...clearly one would like to reserve the label classical for a category of modal logics which if possible is large enough to contain all or most of the systems which for historical or theoretical reasons have come to be regarded as important, and which also posses a high degree of naturalness and homogeneity.
