Description: Detailed biographical article by B. Jack Copeland of the University of Canterbury.
Arthur Prior (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) First published Mon Oct 7, 1996; substantive revision Sat Aug 18, 2007 Arthur Prior (1914-1969) undertook pioneering work in intensional logic at a time when modality and intensional concepts in general were under attack. He invented tense logic and was principal theoretician of the movement to apply modal syntax to the formalisation of a wide variety of phenomena. Prior and Carew Meredith devised a version of the possible worlds semantics several years before Kripke published his first paper on the topic. An iconoclast and a resourceful innovator, Prior inspired many to undertake work in intensional logic.
