Presentation summary:
"The logical 'must' and the concept of logical consequence"
I will distinguish between analytical notes on the concept of logical consequence and non-analytical notes that are nevertheless strongly associated with the concept. I will criticize a series of positions that see certain modality notes as analytical notes of the concept, but also positions that see even a purely generalist modality as non-analytically connected with logical consequences. I will present a conception of the concept in which a generalist modality is analytically connected with the concept but the analytical connections with other modalities are conditional or in any case more complex than is usually thought.
