Title Building Modern Modal Logic: Honoring Krister Segerberg
Abstract
Krister Segerberg was one of the architects of modal logic as we know it today.
I will highlight a few of his major contributions and show some of their
subsequent impact in various academic communities. I conclude with some thoughts
on the blend of philosophical logic and formal philosophy embodied in Krister’s
distinguished career.
