Modal logic is a type of formal logic that extends classical logic to include modalities, which express concepts like necessity and possibility. It allows for reasoning about statements that can be true or false in different circumstances, incorporating notions such as what could be, what must be, and what might have been. This framework has been significant in the development of modern mathematical logic, particularly in analyzing the structure of arguments and the truth values of propositions across possible worlds.
