Summary/Abstract: We are very glad for the opportunity of dedicating the present issue of Organon F to modal logic, a subject that can be said to lie at the intersection of philosophy, mathematics and computer science. Nowadays there are innumerable applications of modal logic in various specific fields and it would be highly challenging to provide a detailed and all-encompassing report. The present issue is rather intended to represent a pause of reflection: it provides fundamental information on the history of modal logic from the early works of C.I. Lewis and draws attention to some current directions of research. This is the reason why we chose “Reflecting on the legacy of C.I. Lewis: Contemporary and Historical Perspectives on Modal Logic” as a title. We hope that the contents will be useful not only for readers already acquainted with the subject, but also for the broad philosophical audience interested in the formal analysis of concepts.
