Abstract

In order to interpret certain modal sentences in historical sciences, this article establishes different meanings of "necessity" and "possibility" and, within temporal logics branched out for the past, it is especially intended to distinguish logically translations of necessity and possibility in temporal moments of analogous translations in historical branches. In addition, we also explain advantages in approaching historical lines to capture the different modal intuitions of historians and naturalists who reconstruct a probable/factual past in different ways (but not in any way).
