Abstract

Generality is a key feature of logic. Logic is the most general science that is by surjections on the collection of all objects, either individuals or propositions, and logical concepts are invariances under such surjections. All logical concepts of first-order logic are invariances of this kind. However, this is not the case with modal concepts. So given that logic is super general, modal concepts do not count as logical concepts.
