Summary:

Stig Kanger (1924-1988) made important contributions to logic and
formal philosophy. Kanger's dissertation Provability in Logic, 1957,
contained significant results in proof theory as well as the first
fully worked out model-theoretic interpretation of quantified modal
logic. It is generally accepted nowadays that Kanger was one of the
originators of possible worlds semantics for modal logic. Kanger's
most original achievements were in the areas of general proof theory,
the semantics of modal and deontic logic, and the logical analysis of
the concept of rights. He also contributed to action theory,
preference logic, and the theory of measurement. This is the first of
two volumes dedicated to the work of Stig Kanger. The present volume
is a complete collection of Kanger's philosophical papers. The second
volume contains critical essays on Kanger's work, as well as
biographical essays on Kanger written by colleagues and friends.
