Abstract

Most normal modal logics have been constructed as axiomatic systems rather than natural deduction. However, a lot of them have Gentzen-style or Kalish-Montague-style counterparts. Unfortunately, very few systems have Słupecki-Borkowski-style natural deduction counterparts. To fill in the gap is an aim of the present paper.

The system K is developed as a Leśniewski-Borkowski-style natural deduction system in two ways. Equivalence of the systems is proved. A way is described to develop other normal systems beginning with the given system K.
