Abstract

I am trying in this paper to skitch Quine's views concerning logical modalities and modal logic by sorting out his criticisms for that logic from his reasons to reject it. Thus, I extract six criticisms (go back to three categories) and two reasons. All of these is associated through connecting Quine's criticisms and his reasons for rejecting modalities with his philosophy of standard language and canonical notation. Thus, my reconstruction of Quine's point of view about the logic of modalities is different from many philosophers and logicians who wrote about Quine.]
